Matthew 27:52-54

Context
27:52 And tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had died 1  were raised. 27:53 (They 2  came out of the tombs after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.) 27:54 Now when the centurion 3  and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”

1 tn The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.

2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

3 sn See the note on the word centurion in Matt 8:5.
