The last day up to the crucifixion

  • PER363 The visit of the Sanhedrin's representatives to Pilate

    An episode found only in Matthew, this passage recounts the visit of the Sanhedrin's representatives to Pilate on Saturday morning to obtain a guard for the tomb of Jesus. Fearing a rumor of resurrection, they have the sepulcher sealed. Pilate, a pragmatist, yields to their request. This episode reveals the tensions between the Jewish religious leadership and Roman authority, and directly prepares the account of the resurrection.

    Matthew 27.63-64 (King James Version) :
    Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.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.

These perspectives reveal the theological diversity of the Gospels, conveying Jesus' innocence and his saving death. The evangelists report words that are significant to their theological purposes.
