I have often wondered how they missed this one. When Jesus was crucified, according to Matthew, many of the dead saints arose from their graves and went into the city and appeared unto many. This must have created quite a stir. Imagine Uncle Morti knocking at the door wanting to check how things are going at the bakery, or the guy next door wanting his farm back, after all he’s back. How is it that Josephus and the other contemporary historians missed this one, probably the most news worthy thing that happened in the history of the world. I guess they had more important things to write about. By the way not a word about Jesus coming back either. Perhaps Matthew was stretching the story just a wee bit?
Matthew Chapter 27
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
