From Matthew 27: 51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people. This particular fact isn't mentioned in any other gospels so there isn't a number.

A:Matthew's Gospel (27:52-53) makes an important addition to the story of the events at the time of Jesus' death, stating that there was an earthquake that opened the graves, just as Jesus died, allowing the buried to rise up and walk into Jerusalem, where they were seen by many.

The Gospel does not tell us how many dead people rose from their graves, only that it was 'many', and of course there is no evidence anywhere else in The Bible or from any contemporary source.
