In addition to this, a Roman guard was stationed
at the tomb, and there was a one to two ton boulder rolled in front
of the grave. The seal of Rome was then placed on top of the boulder.
This was a psychological barrier, in effect saying, "If you
touch this...we're going to get you." So, this group of scared,
cowering and demoralized individuals stealing the body, overcoming
heavily armed guards, moving the stone, defying Rome, inviting torture
and death, is hard to swallow when you look at all the pieces. In
fact, if the body was stolen, we can be sure that it wasn't the
disciples who did it.
