Mattityahu 27:47-61 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

47. And some of those who were standing there, when they heard, began saying, This one calls for Eliyahu HaNavi.

48. And immediately one of them ran and, taking a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave him a drink.

49. But the rest of them said, Wait. We will see whether Eliyahu HaNavi will come to save him.

50. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out again with a loud voice, and dismissed his ruach.

51. And hinei! The parochet of the Beis Hamikdash was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook; and the rocks were split,

52. And the kevarim (graves) were opened, and many gufot (bodies) of the kadoshim who had fallen asleep were made to stand up alive.

53. And coming out of the kevarim after the Techiyas HaMoshiach, they entered the Ir Hakodesh (Holy City) and appeared to many.

54. Now when the centurion, and those who were with him keeping shomer (guard) over Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, they became very frightened and said, Truly this was the Ben HaElohim.

55. And many nashim were there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from the Galil and had ministered to him.

56. Among them was Miryam of Magdala, Miryam the Em of Yaakov and Yosef, and the Em of Zavdai's sons.

57. And when it was erev, there came an oisher (rich man) from Ramatayim named Yosef who himself had also become a talmid of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

58. This man went to Pilate and asked for the gufat Yehoshua [TEHILLIM 16:9-10]. Then Pilate ordered it to be given over to Yosef.

59. And Yosef took the gufat Yehoshua, and wrapped it in the tachrichim,

60. and laid it in Yosef's own new kever, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the kever (tomb) and went away [Isa 53:9].

61. And Miryam of Magdala, and the other Miryam, stayed there, sitting opposite the kever.
