Hello again Steve, Matthew's Gospel is the only one that mentions a guard that was posted by the tomb. In Matthew 27:65, Pilate says, "Take a guard." What is a Roman guard? I am convinced that this Roman 'guard' is a guard of Roman soldiers (plural). This would explain the presence of more than one soldier (v. 4, 11-12) and the assignment of only one guard (27:65-66) to guard the tomb. --Nolan |
