Matthew 27:51-56

51 ¹And behold, ²the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ³the earth shook and the rocks were split.

52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had ⁴fallen asleep were raised;

53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered ⁵the holy city and appeared to many.

54 ⁶Now the centurion, and those who were with him ⁷keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw ⁸the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was ⁹the Son of God!"

55 ¹⁰Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ¹¹ministering to Him.

56 Among them was ¹²Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and ¹³the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
