We also need to consider the Jewish elders' view. Here is a bearded guy in white that is preaching a view that they can't control. Then the elders hear him say that he would tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days. Needless to say, they thought Jesus meant the temple that existed at that time. Finally, the elders had the Romans put a seal on the tomb as this would prevent somebody from stealing the body and saying that Jesus rose from the dead.
