A:This event occurs only in Matthew's Gospel (Matthew 27:52-53). At the moment of Jesus' death, there was a violent earthquake, the graves were opened and many of the bodies of the saints arose and walked into Jerusalem,where they were seen by many. Matthewdoes not tell us who they were, but presumably they were among the righteous Jews of previous generations. The gospel also fails to tell us why the bodies arose, nor what happened to them afterwards. Ian Wilson (

Jesus: The Evidence) says that

it is probably safest to regard this account as a

pious embroidery

by an author

demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous

How many people came out of their graves when Christ died?

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.
