On the next day after Jesus' crucifixion, the chief priest, pharisees and the temple guards were all gathered together as they figured it was very important to look after and protect their reputation, after all Jesus Christ was just a trouble maker and He still could make trouble for them. When Jesus was still alive, He stated that He would die and three days later He would rise from the dead to life again. and the religious leaders did not need that to happen so they planned to keep the tomb under lock, key and guards for the next while. Soldiers were posted outside the tomb with a large stone placed in front of the opening of the grave and a seal installed to make sure no one could get into the tomb to disturb anything or steel the body, especially those pesky disciples of Jesus.
Not much went on this day but the guarding of the grave so we will let the people carry on until tomorrow.
