Matthew 27:51

Verse 51 of 66. The 27th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

47Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

48Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

49The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”

50Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

51Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

53and coming 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, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
