027:051 Immediately the curtain of the Sanctuary was torn in two from
top to bottom: the earth quaked; the rocks split;
027:052 the tombs opened; and many of God's people who were asleep
in death awoke.
027:053 And coming out of their tombs after Christ's resurrection they
entered the holy city and showed themselves to many.
027:054 As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."
027:055 And there were a number of women there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to His necessities;
027:056 among them being Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James
and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zabdi.
027:057 Towards sunset there came a wealthy inhabitant of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who himself also had become a disciple of Jesus.
027:058 He went to Pilate and begged to have the body of Jesus,
and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
027:059 So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet
of fine linen.
027:060 He then laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn in the solid rock, and after rolling a great stone against the door of the tomb he went home.
