Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus of God, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying,

“Truly this was the Son of God!”

Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.

Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea ◆ named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street.

On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month.

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it,

and his servants will serve him.

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them.
