Matthew 27:64

κελευσον ουν ασφαλισθηναι τον ταφον εως της τριτης ημερας μηποτε ελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου νυκτος κλεψωσιν αυτον και ειπωσιν τω λαω ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και εσται η εσχατη πλανη χειρων της πρωτης
keleyson oyn asphalisthēnai ton taphon eōs tēs tritēs ēmeras mēpote elthontes oi mathētai aytoy nyktos klepsōsin ayton kai eipōsin tō laō ēgerthē apo tōn nekrōn kai estai ē eschatē planē cheirōn tēs prōtēs
King James Version (KJV)

Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Modern English

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
