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.

55 Il y avait là plusieurs femmes qui regardaient de loin; qui avaient accompagné Jésus depuis la Galilée, pour le servir.
