Matthew 27:52-54
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
52 And the tombs were opened. And many bodies of the saints having fallen-asleep were raised. 53 And having come out from the tombs after[a] His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many. 54 And the centurion and the ones with him guarding Jesus— having seen the earthquake and the things having taken place— became extremely afraid, saying, “Truly this One was God’s[b] Son!”

- Matthew 27:53 Matthew may mean the dead ones arose when Jesus died on Friday, but came out on Sunday; or, that the tombs were opened on Friday and the dead were raised and came out on Sunday. This is indicative of the fact that Jesus conquered death for all believers.
- Matthew 27:54 The centurion could mean ‘a divine person’, or be expressing genuine faith. The words do not make explicit what was in his heart.
