Matt 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
Matt 27:51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
Matt 27:52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
Matt 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
Matt 27:54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
Matt 27:55 ¶ Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.
Matt 27:56 Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Matt 27:57 ¶ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
Matt 27:58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
Matt 27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matt 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
Matt 27:61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
Matt 27:62 ¶ Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,
Matt 27:63 and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I am to rise again.'
Matt 27:64 "Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
Matt 27:65 Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how."
Matt 27:66 And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.
Matt 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
Matt 28:2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
