Yes, according to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, there was an earthquake at the time of Jesus' death. Matthew 27:50-54 describes that when Jesus died, the earth shook, rocks split, and tombs broke open, with many bodies of saints being raised. Scientific investigations support the occurrence of an earthquake around the time of Jesus' crucifixion. Research by geologists studying sediment cores near the Dead Sea found evidence of a seismic event between 26 and 36 AD, which corresponds with the era when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea and the traditional dating of Jesus' crucifixion, likely Friday, April 3, 33 AD. This earthquake was not large enough to leave widespread historical records outside the Bible but was significant locally and may correlate with the biblical account.
Thus, there is both biblical and geological evidence suggesting that an earthquake did occur around the time of Jesus' death.
