Matthew 27:51-54

511And behold, 2the 3veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and 4the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the 5saints who had 6fallen asleep were raised; 53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered 7the holy city and appeared to many. 548Now as for the centurion and those who were with him 9keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw 10the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, “Truly this was 1112the Son of God!”
