The chief priests and the Pharisees went before Pilate and told him how Jesus claimed He would come back to life after three days. They asked that guards be placed in front of the tombstone so that no one could steal the body, making a claim that Jesus was alive. Pilate granted the request and said to make it as secure as possible.
This transaction can be found in Matthew 27:62-66.
Jesus' body was in a tomb, but He also went to Hell and took the keys to death from satan. He conquered death, hell and the grave. (Read Ephesians 4:8-9)
Jesus said, "I am He that lives, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen, and have the keys of Hell and death." (Revelation 1:18)
