Matthew 27:51-53
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Temple Curtain Is Torn. The Earth Quakes. Tombs Are Opened, Bodies Raised
51 And behold— the curtain of the temple was torn[a] in two from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken and the rocks were split. 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[b] His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
