⁵¹And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent.

    ⁵²And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose,

    ⁵³And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.

    ⁵⁴Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

    ⁵⁵And there were there many women afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

    ⁵⁶Among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

    ⁵⁷And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus.

    ⁵⁸He went to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered.

    ⁵⁹And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.

    ⁶⁰And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument, and went his way.

    ⁶¹And there was there Mary Magdalen, and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre.

    ⁶²And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate,

    ⁶³Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again.

    ⁶⁴Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

    ⁶⁵Pilate saith to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know.

    ⁶⁶And they departing, made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting guards.
