What Happened to the SAINTS Who Rose From Their Graves When Jesus DIED?

What happened to the saints who rose from their graves when Jesus died? Matthew gives us only 36 words about the graves that opened outside Jerusalem and the saints who walked into the holy city, and then he moves on. This study walks through Matthew 27:52-53 word by word in the original Greek.
