Matthew 27:51-54

51And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

52The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

54When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
