"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children."
Today's quote tells of the earthquake that occurred as Jesus died. In a part of this lesson that is very seldom talked about, that quake not only damaged the temple, as Jesus had earlier prophesied, it also opened the graves of many of the saints allowing them to rise again so that they were later seen witnessing in Jerusalem.
The Centurion and his Roman guards were so impressed by what had happened they openly confessed that Jesus was indeed the Son of God.~
