These holy ones were raised up during the earthquake, and some after that, (the earthquake) and came out from the tombs and entered into the holy city, and they became visible to many people.
Leaving a graveyard outside a city and entering into a city, those who were raised right after the earthquake ......and later, after the earthquake, and becoming visible to many requires legs, as in walking.
There were not allot of people going to the tombs to bring dead people on cots back into the city.
Then they became visible to many. these are the firstfruits. They went to heaven on the day of Pentecost.

he text at Matthew 27:52, 53 concerning “the memorial tombs [that] were opened” as the result of an earthquake occurring at the time of Jesus’ death has caused considerable discussion, some holding that a resurrection occurred. However, a comparison with the texts concerning the resurrection makes clear that these verses do not describe a resurrection but merely a throwing of bodies out of their tombs, similar to incidents that have taken place in more recent times, as in Ecuador in 1949 and again in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1962, when 200 corpses in the cemetery were thrown out of their tombs by a violent earth tremor.
