I couldn't find a good fit for this post so I made a new thread.
I notice sometimes that I come across passages I must have seen before, but I had forgotten. A lot of times these less known passages are very close to the most famous passages. The one that I just ran into was just after Jesus gave up the ghost, in Matthew 27.
Nobody ever talks about the many bodies of the saints that arose. Everybody knows about the veil, and the earthquakes, and the centurion, but I never hear about the many saints arising. These must have been like the other resurrections Christ did during his Earthly ministry, such as Lazarus. They were not eternal, so they would have died again. I wonder how long they lived?
It says many were raised. Imagine some of them living 30-40 years more, and everyone knowing they had been dead, probably for many years. Imagine someone you knew personally, who died 20 years ago, and now they're up living again!
This is by far the biggest miracle in the bible, other than Christ's actually eternal resurrection!
Nobody talks about this

51 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;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 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.
