Matthew 27:52-54

⁵²The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.

⁵³After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.

⁵⁴When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
