The article on Jesus, section entitled "Crucifixion and burial," currently states: "In Matthew 27:62–66, on the following day the Jews ask Pilate for the tomb to be sealed with a stone and placed under guard to ensure the body will remain there." This sentence is completely erroneous. Gospel Matthew 27:60 clearly states that Joseph of Arimethea was responsible for placing the large stone over the entrance to the tomb after the body of Jesus had been prepared.

Matthew27: [60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

The offending sentence under the section entitled "Crucifixion and burial," should be rewritten: "In Matthew 27:62–66, on the following day the chief Jewish priests ask Pilate for the tomb to be secured, and with Pilate's permission the priests place seals on the entrance stone and set a guard."

This serves to bring the statement into conformity with Matthew 27:65–66, which reads:

"[65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. [66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."
