Matthew 27:51-66

511And beholdG2400, 2the 3veilG2665 of the templeG3485 was tornG4977 in twoG1417 from topG509 to bottomG2736; and 4the earthG1093 shookG4579 and the rocksG4073 were splitG4977. 52AlsoG2532 the tombsG3419 were openedG455, and manyG4183 bodiesG4983 of the 5saintsG40 who had 6fallenG2837 asleepG2837 were raisedG1453; 53and comingG1831 outG1831 of the tombsG3419 afterG3326 His resurrectionG1454, they enteredG1525 7the holyG40 cityG4172 and appearedG1718 to manyG4183. 548NowG1161 as for the centurionG1543 and thoseG3588 who were with him 9keepingG5083 guardG5083 overG5083 JesusG2424, when they sawG3708 10the earthquakeG4578 and the other things that were happeningG1096, they becameG5399 extremelyG4970 frightenedG5399 and saidG3004, “TrulyG230 thisG3778 was 1112the SonG5207 of GodG2316!”

5513And manyG4183 womenG1135 were thereG1563 watchingG2334 from a distanceG3113, whoG3748 had followedG190 JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056 while 14caringG1247 forG1247 Him. 56AmongG1722 them were 15MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094, MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JamesG2385 and JosephG2501, and 16the motherG3384 of the sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199.

5717NowG1161 when it was eveningG3798, a richG4145 manG444 from ArimatheaG707 cameG2064, namedG5122 JosephG2501, whoG3739 himselfG846 had alsoG2532 becomeG3100 aG3100 discipleG3100 of JesusG2424. 58ThisG3778 manG3778 wentG4334 to PilateG4091 and askedG154 for the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424. ThenG5119 PilateG4091 orderedG2753 it to be givenG591 to him. 59And JosephG2501 tookG2983 the bodyG4983 and wrappedG1794 it in a cleanG2513 linenG4616 clothG4616, 60and laidG5087 it in his own newG2537 tombG3419, whichG3739 he had cutG2998 outG2998 in the rockG4073; and he rolledG4351 18a largeG3173 stoneG3037 against the entranceG2374 of the tombG3419 and wentG565 awayG565. 61And 19MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 was thereG1563, and the otherG243 MaryG3137, sittingG2521 oppositeG561 the tombG5028.

62NowG1161 on the nextG1887 dayG1887, that is, the day whichG3748 is afterG3326 20the preparationG3904, the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 with PilateG4091, 63and they saidG3004, “SirG2962, we rememberG3403 that when that deceiverG4108 wasG2198 stillG2089 aliveG2198, He saidG3004, ‘21AfterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 I am risingG1453.’ 64ThereforeG3767, giveG2753 ordersG2753 for the tombG5028 to be madeG805 secureG805 untilG2193 the thirdG5154 dayG2250; otherwiseG3379, His disciplesG3101 may comeG2064 and stealG2813 Him, and sayG3004 to the peopleG2992, ‘He has risenG1453 from the deadG3498,’ and the lastG2078 deceptionG4106 will be worseG5501 than the firstG4413.” 65PilateG4091 saidG5346 to them, “You haveG2192 a 22guardG2892; goG5217, makeG805 it as secureG805 as you knowG3609 howG3609.” 66And they wentG4198 and madeG805 the tombG5028 secureG805 with 23the guardG2892, 24sealingG4972 25the stoneG3037.
