Commentary on Matthew 27:65
Theological / DevotionalA watch. Gr. koustōdia, “guard,” a loan word from the Latin.
As sure as ye can. These ironical words are reminiscent of his earlier statement, “What I have written I have written.” Pilate here speaks in character. He despised the Jewish leaders, and compiled with their request out of disdain for them. The efforts of the Jewish authorities to prevent the resurrection only resulted in more positive and conclusive proof of the reality of that great event.
