Here is a quote from the latter part of the brief technical article entitled:
JERUSALEM EARTHQUAKE OF 33 A.D.: EVIDENCE WITHIN LAMINATED MUD OF THE
DEAD SEA, ISRAEL:
These are the Jerusalem earthquakes of April 3 at the crucifixion of Christ (Matt. 27:51), and April 5
at the resurrection of Christ (Matt. 28:2). Luke, a first century physician and historian, reported a
smaller earthquake in the summer at the gathered assembly (Acts 4:31). The persistent 33 A.D.
seismite indicates the biggest 33 A.D. earthquake was M~6.0. This biggest earthquake was likely
April 3, 33 A.D. that startled city residents and caused moderate damage, especially to the western
side of Temple Mount. Pivots of two, 20-m-high, metal doors of the Temple appear to have been
damaged, and the 20-m-high curtain in front of the doors was torn, likely by displacement of the
lintel of the Temple during the earthquake.
I found the article online but the link now says Not Found for this title, and the author of the article which is copyrighted.
