Matthew 27:51-56

Listen to Matthew 27:51-56
51 At that moment, the Temple curtain was ripped in two, top to bottom. There was an earthquake, and rocks were split in pieces.
52 What's more, tombs were opened up, and many bodies of believers asleep in their graves were raised.
53 (After Jesus' resurrection, they left the tombs, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.)
54 The captain of the guard and those with him, when they saw the earthquake and everything else that was happening, were scared to death. They said, "This has to be the Son of God!"
55 There were also quite a few women watching from a distance, women who had followed Jesus from Galilee in order to serve him.
56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the Zebedee brothers.
