The next day, on the Sabbath, the leading priests and Pharisees went to see Pilate. They told him, 

"Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will rise from the dead.'

So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the dead! If that happens, well be worse off than we were at first."

Pilate replied, 

"Take guards and secure it the best you can."

So they sealed the tomb and posted guards to protect it.

Matthew 27:62-66 NLT

Something was niggling away at the religious leaders minds, and they just couldn't let it go. 

They call him a deceiver, an imposter, someone who would lead others astray, but for all their confidence in how right they were, Jesus words were messing with them:

"After three days I will rise from the dead".

While most of the world carried on their normal Saturday, while those who were followers of Jesus mourned, those who wanted to see Jesus dead and gone the most were niggled that just maybe something bigger is going on here. 

What if Jesus is who he says he is?
