¹⁷ Then the king gave the order, and they took Daniel and put him into the lions' hole. The king made answer and said to Daniel, Your God, whose servant you are at all times, will keep you safe.

⁵³ They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

⁶² Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

⁶³ Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

⁶⁴ Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able.

⁶⁶ So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

⁴ And having taken him, he put him in prison, with four bands of armed men to keep watch over him; his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover.

²³ And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:

²⁴ And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
