Herod the Great and Jesus Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence

When Jesus died [15:00] several strange events occurred: Then Jesus loudly cried out once again and gave up his life. Suddenly, the curtain in the temple was split357 in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split open. The tombs were opened, and the bodies of many [several]358 holy people who had died came back to life. They came out of the tombs after he had come back to life359, and they went into the holy city where they appeared to many [several] people. An army officer and those watching Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things happening. They were terrified and said: Certainly, this was the Son of God! Many [several] women were there watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee and had always supported him. Among them were Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of James and Joseph), and the mother of Zebedee’s sons (Mt 25:50-56, GOD'S WORD Translation). Many translators had difficulties with the literal meaning of the wording because they did not understand the goal of this resurrection360. Thus, according to some translations, the corpse of several saints would have been expelled from the tombs, then entered the city of Jerusalem (like zombis!), but in the whole New Testament "the holy ones" are always Jesus' disciples361 (Ac 9:13; Rm 1:7; 1Co 14:23; Heb 13:24) and when a dead "who had fallen asleep was raised up", it always by means a resurrection (Jn 11:11-13). These extraordinary events were not symbolic but real because Thallus, a Samaritan historian (30- 100?), says in the third book of his Histories: A most terrible darkness fell over all the world, the rocks were torn apart by an earthquake, and many places both in Judea and the rest of the world were thrown down362. According to Phlegon of Tralles (c. 137 CE): In the 4th year, however, of Olympiad 202 [33 CE], an eclipse of the sun happened, greater and more excellent than any that had happened before it; at the 6th hour [15:00], day turned into dark night, so that the stars were seen in the sky, and an earthquake in Bithynia toppled many buildings of the city of Nicea363. The purpose of these miraculous signs was to show that an extraordinary event had occurred in Jerusalem (just after Jesus' death) and another event was going to follow soon (Jesus' resurrection). The holy ones who had died, mentioned in the New Testament, were the disciples to whom Jesus promised to reign with him in the heavens (Mt 5:3-10), but given that they had to be born from holy spirit (Jn 3:3-8), poured out 50 days after Jesus' death (Ac 2:1-4), they (a small number) had to be resurrected in order to benefit from his promise (Heb 6:17).
