Matthew 27:50-54
International Standard Version
50 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice again and died.[a] 51 Suddenly, the curtain[b] in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, rocks were split open, 52 tombs were opened, and many[c] saints who had died[d] were brought back to life. 53 After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs, went into the Holy City,[e] and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion[f] and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”
