What the Fathers say

Matthew 27:66

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

There follows the execution: "and they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone with guards." Hence it was not enough for them to set guards, but they also sealed it. Nor was it enough for them that the soldiers did this, but they themselves also sealed it; Psalm 21:17: "the counsel of the malignant hath besieged me."
