'Tombs' in the Bible

When He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming out of the tombs met Him. They were so extremely fierce and violent that no one could pass by that way.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which look beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets and decorate and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints (God’s people) who had fallen asleep [in death] were raised [to life];

and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered the holy city (Jerusalem) and appeared to many people.

When Jesus got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

and the man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with chains.

Night and day he was constantly screaming and shrieking among the tombs and on the mountains, and cutting himself with [sharp] stones.

Now when Jesus stepped out on land, He was met by a man from the city [of Gerasa] who was possessed with demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and was not living in a house, but among the tombs.

Woe to you! For you repair or build tombs for the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

Do not be surprised at this; for a time is coming when all those who are in the tombs will hear His voice,
