52Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the 1saints who had 2fallen asleep were raised; 53and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered 3the holy city and appeared to many. 544Now as for the centurion and those who were with him 5keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw 6the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, “Truly this was 78the Son of God!”
