On the Saturday … and the Sunday

Significant day, – the grave was secured:
the guard and the seal, as safe as they could;
ensuring his followers his body can’t steal,
to hoax men and and fabricate hopeless appeal.

What happened? The priests did not want to believe
the tale of the soldiers – gave bribes to deceive.
The disciples were changed – not by one who was dead,
but their Saviour had risen to life, as they said.

"'Make the tomb as secure as you know how." … They gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, "Your are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy  him and keep you out of trouble" So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day. (from Matthew 27:62-66 and 28:11-15)
