50 Jésus poussa de nouveau un grand cri, et rendit l’esprit.

51 Et voici, le voile du temple se déchira en deux, depuis le haut jusqu’en bas, la terre trembla, les rochers se fendirent,

52 les sépulcres s’ouvrirent, et plusieurs corps des saints qui étaient morts ressuscitèrent.

53 Étant sortis des sépulcres, après la résurrection de Jésus, ils entrèrent dans la ville sainte, et apparurent à un grand nombre de personnes.

54 Le centenier et ceux qui étaient avec lui pour garder Jésus, ayant vu le tremblement de terre et ce qui venait d’arriver, furent saisis d’une grande frayeur, et dirent: Assurément, cet homme était Fils de Dieu.
