Subject: I have a problem with Mat 27:53 |
Bible Note: So then you are thinking that these were dead bodies that were tossed out of their tombs, and were brought into Jerusalem to be shown around town to people? These bodies would been unclean, and no Jew would want to have anything to do with them, except to quickly re-bury them. I don't really find this credible that they would tote them into town to be seen by many. Deathlike sleep? I don't think Paul actually said that. I guess I don't find this very convincing.
