On the day of Jesus’ crucifixion Joseph of Arimathea prepared His body and laid it in the tomb on Friday evening, just before the start of the sabbath at 6pm that day.

The next day, Saturday, which was the (Sabbath), the chief priests and Pharisees visited Pilate, the Roman governor with this fearful message: “That deceiver claimed he would rise in three days. Order the tomb secured so his disciples don’t steal the body and claim he rose.” Pilate replied, “Take a guard and make it secure. So, they sealed the stone and posted a guard” (Matt. 27:62-66, NIV).

Pilate tried to secure a body, but ended up arranging witnesses to a miracle. The grave was secured against human efforts, but not divine power. The story didn't end on Saturday."

Good God Almighty!
