Matthew 27:50-53

50And Jesus cried out again with a loud [agonized] voice, and gave up His spirit [voluntarily, sovereignly dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father’s plan].

51And [at once] the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; the earth shook and the rocks were split apart.

52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints (God’s people) who had fallen asleep [in death] were raised [to life];

53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city (Jerusalem) and appeared to many people.
