This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_27:64 Καὶ ἔσται ] is more lively and natural when not taken as dependent on μήποτε . The Vulgate renders correctly: et erit.
ἡ ἐσχάτη πλάνη ] the last error (see on Eph_4:14), that, namely, which would gain ground among the credulous masses, through those who might steal away the body of Jesus pretending that He had risen from the dead.
τῆς πρώτης ] which found acceptance with the multitude through giving out and encouraging others to give out that He was the Messiah.
χείρων ] worse, i.e. more fatal to public order and security, etc. For the use of this expression, comp. Mat_12:45; 2Sa_13:15.
