In the New Testament, it specifically denotes the Roman guard placed at the tomb of Jesus to prevent His disciples from stealing His body.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Roman Empire, a "custodia" was a detachment of soldiers tasked with guarding important locations or individuals. The presence of a Roman guard at Jesus' tomb highlights the political and religious tensions of the time, as the Jewish leaders sought to ensure that Jesus' prophecy of rising from the dead would not be fulfilled through any human intervention.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a guard<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>guard (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2892: κουστωδία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κουστωδία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κουστωδίας</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 17 (16)), <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (a Latin word), <span class="accented">guard</span>: used of the Roman soldiers guarding the sepulchre of Christ, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-65.htm">Matthew 27:65</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/28-11.htm">Matthew 28:11</a>.
