51and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, 52and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose, 53and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. 54And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, ‘Truly this was God’s Son.’ 55And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, 56among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
