Matthew 27:51-61

51 At that moment the parokhet in the Temple was ripped in two from top to bottom; and there was an earthquake, with rocks splitting apart.
52 Also the graves were opened, and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life;
53 and after Yeshua rose, they came out of the graves and went into the holy city, where many people saw them.
54 When the Roman officer and those with him who were keeping watch over Yeshua saw the earthquake and what was happening, they were awestruck and said, "He really was a son of God."
55 There were many women there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Yeshua from the Galil, helping him.
56 Among them were Miryam from Magdala, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov and Yosef, and the mother of Zavdai's sons.
57 Towards evening, there came a wealthy man from Ramatayim named Yosef, who was himself a talmid of Yeshua.
58 He approached Pilate and asked for Yeshua's body, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
59 Yosef took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
60 and laid it in his own tomb, which he had recently had cut out of the rock. After rolling a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb, he went away.
61 Miryam of Magdala and the other Miryam stayed there, sitting opposite the grave.
