Matthew 27:51-54

New Life Version

The Powerful Works at the Time of His Death ^(A)

⁵¹ At once the curtain in the house of God was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks fell apart. ⁵² Graves were opened. Bodies of many of God’s people who were dead were raised. ⁵³ After Jesus was raised from the grave, these arose from their graves and went into Jerusalem, the Holy City. These were seen by many people.

⁵⁴ The captain of the soldiers and those with him who were watching Jesus, saw all the things that were happening. They saw the earth shake and they were very much afraid. They said, “For sure, this Man was the Son of God.”
