Matthew 27:52-66

52and the tombsG3419 were openedG455; and manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the saintsG40 that had fallen asleepG2837 were raisedG1453; 53and comingG1831 forthG1831 out of the tombsG3419 after his resurrection they enteredG1525 into the holyG40 cityG4172 and appeared unto manyG4183. 54NowG1161 the centurionG1543, and they that wereG1510 with him watching JesusG2424, when they sawG3708 the earthquakeG4578, and the thingsG3778 that wereG1510 done, fearedG5399 exceedinglyG4970, sayingG3004, TrulyG230 this wasG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316. 55And manyG4183 womenG1135 wereG1510 there beholding from afar, who had followedG190 JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056, ministeringG1247 unto him: 56among whom wasG1510 MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 and Joses, and the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199.

57And when evenG2532 was comeG2064, there cameG2064 a richG4145 manG444 from Arimathæa, named JosephG2501, who alsoG2532 himself was Jesus’G2424 disciple: 58this manG3778 went to PilateG4091, and askedG154 for the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. ThenG5119 PilateG4091 commandedG2753 it to be givenG591 up. 59And JosephG2501 tookG2983 the bodyG4983, and wrapped it in a cleanG2513 linenG4616 clothG4616, 60and laidG5087 it in his own newG2537 tombG3419, which he had hewn out in the rockG4073: and he rolledG4351 a greatG3173 stoneG3037 to the doorG2374 of the tombG3419, and departedG565. 61And MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 wasG1510 there, and the otherG243 MaryG3137, sittingG2521 over against the sepulchre.

62NowG1161 on the morrow, which isG1510 the dayG1887 after the PreparationG3904, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 wereG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 unto PilateG4091, 63sayingG3004, SirG2962, we rememberG3403 that that deceiverG4108 saidG3004 while he was yetG2089 aliveG2198, After threeG5140 daysG2250 I riseG1453 again. 64Command thereforeG3767 that the sepulchre beG1510 made sure until the thirdG5154 dayG2250, lest haply his disciplesG3101 comeG2064 and stealG2813 him awayG575, and sayG3004 unto the peopleG2992, He isG1510 risenG1453 from the deadG3498: and the lastG2078 errorG4106 will beG1510 worse than the firstG4413. 65PilateG4091 saidG5346 unto them, Ye have a guardG2892: goG5217, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they wentG4198, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stoneG3037, the guardG2892 being with them.
