Saturday:
• The next day, chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate, remembering that Jesus had claimed that after three days, He would rise. They asked Pilate to ensure that the tomb was secured until that time, so His disciples would not steal the body of Jesus and claim He had miraculously resurrected. (Matthew)
• Pilate told them to use their own guards and secure the tomb. (Matthew)
• They sealed the stone and posted a guard. (Matthew)
Sunday:

• Mary Magdelene turned around in the tomb and Jesus was standing there, though she did not recognize Him. (John)

• Jesus appeared in another form to two men walking into the country. They also told the disciples, but the disciples did not believe them, either. (Mark)
