Matthew 27:51-61

51 And behold, ¹the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And ²the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of ³the saints ⁴who had fallen asleep were raised,

53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into ⁵the holy city and appeared to many.

54 ⁶When the centurion and those who were with him, ⁷keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, ⁸“Truly this was the Son^[a] of God! ”

55 There were also ⁹many women there, looking on ¹⁰from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ¹¹ministering to him,

56 among whom were ¹²Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and ¹³the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Jesus Is Buried

57 ¹⁴When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.

58 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud

60 and ¹⁵laid it in his own new tomb, ¹⁶which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled ¹⁷a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.

61 Mary Magdalene and ¹⁸the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
