A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure--by a Roman guard.

until the third day--after which, if He still lay in the grave, the imposture of His claims would be manifest to all.

and say unto the people, he is risen from the dead--Did they really fear this?

so the last error shall be worse than the first--the imposture of His pretended resurrection worse than that of His pretended Messiahship.
