Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
πορευθέντες
/having_been/_gone
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
σφραγίσαντες τὸν λίθον
/having/_sealed the stone
Here Matthew means that a seal was put on the stone that covered the entrance of Jesus’ tomb. The seal would break if someone moved the stone, thus indicating that the stone had been moved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make those ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [having placed a seal on the stone that closed the tomb]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μετὰ τῆς κουστωδίας
with the guard
Here Matthew means that the chief priests and Pharisees left the guard at the tomb to help secure it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [and having stationed the guard there]
Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
τῆς κουστωδίας
the guard
See how you translated guard in 27:65. Alternate translation: [the guards] or [the soldiers who were acting as guards]
27:62-66 This incident bolsters the truth of Jesus’ resurrection—it is inconceivable that Matthew would fabricate such a story since witnesses abounded who could have countered the claims.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
