where in the bible does it talk about the living and the dead were in the village ?

Question

A long time ago I read a scripture in the bible about teh living and the dead where in the village, I think this was time of Jesus's resurection but I cannot remember where I found it. However I know its in the bible, does anyone know what I am referring to.

Answer 1

Matthew 27:51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

I think this is what you had in mind ;-)

Answer 2

Another possibility:

And the first of the sabbaths, while still very early, they came on the tomb, carrying spices which they prepared; and some were with them. And they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb. And going in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were perplexed about this, even behold, two men in shining clothing stood by them. And they becoming terrified, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living with the dead?
(Luke 24:1-5)

Answer 3

Mat 27:52,53 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
