Jerome

It proceeds, And sitting down, they watched him there. This watchfulness of the soldiers and of the Priests has proved of use to us in making the power of His resurrection greater and more notorious.

Catena Aurea by Aquinas ↗

Thomas Aquinas

"And they sat and watched him etc.," namely so that he would not be buried; Psalm 21:18: "they have looked and stared upon me."
