Veil Rent in Two

Chapter 27

http://bible.com/1/mat.27.51.kjv And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

In chapter 28 it is commonly reported about the guards being paid off to lie about the disciples stealing Jesus body while they slept...I wonder how or if any historical data exists about the veil ripping?

This wasn't some worn, aged thin material. Thus was thick, heavy, long material which hid the mercy seat.

Curious if anyone knows or has studied if the Jews allowed this information to be included anywhere. If the veil ripping is known in their history (whether it's common knowledge or just data recorded) excellent stepping stone for witnessing.

Reverence the Heir

http://bible.com/1/mat.21.41.kjv They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

Chilling thought as I read through this passage...just as the Jews didn't recognize the son of God, nor reverence Him, how do we with our traditions give lip service and/or appearance of 'worshiping' but in truth are nothing more than dead works?

How much of our daily actions, thoughts and words are considered to be fruitful in His view?
