52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
53and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
54Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him,
56among whom was Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
57When evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus` disciple.
58This man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
