In Matthew 27:53, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the phrase marking when those from the tombs came out; the APB renders the clause “after his resurrection” before describing their entry into the holy city and appearance to many.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 27:53, the APB presents the term in the temporal clause “after his resurrection.” The verse is read as a whole, but the clause situates the tombs' opening and subsequent appearance after that event.
