1While they were still conferring among themselves, again the heavens appeared open and a man descended and entered the sepulcher.
2Those who were with the centurion, seeing this, hastened to go to Pilate while it was still night, abandoning the sepulcher they were guarding.
3Full of agitation, they told all that they had seen, saying: 'He was truly the son of God.'
4Pilate responded in this manner: 'I am clean of the blood of the Son of God. It was you who wanted it this way.'
5Then they all approached and asked him earnestly that he order the centurion and the soldiers to keep secret what they had seen.
6Pilate ordered the centurion and the soldiers to say nothing.
