52 The graves opened, and many of God’s people who had died were raised from the dead.
53 They came out of the graves after Jesus was raised from the dead and went into the holy city, where they appeared to many people.

55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to help him were standing at a distance from the cross, watching.
56 Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John were there.
57 That evening a rich man named Joseph, a follower of Jesus from the town of Arimathea, came to Jerusalem.
