Bible Question:
I didn't realize my previous question had been asked so recently. I'm new to this and didn't know how to search it. Thanks to all for the responses now and before. Next question. Were OT saints, like Abraham, seen in Jerusalem when Jesus came out of the tomb on the third day? |
Bible Answer: Greetings tgsmom! According to Matthew 27:52-53, Yes! Some Old Testament saints were raised, but this occurred at Jesus' death, and not His Resurrection. Also, we do not know the identity of any one of these 'resurrected saints'.. Matthew is the only Gospel that contains this account. Blessings to you, Nolan |
