Answer: Solomon
Solomon was an ancient king of Israel. God offered him anything he wanted to ask for. When he could have asked for wealth and fame, he instead asked for wisdom to make the right choices. Because of this God blessed him with the wisdom and the fame and wealth (1 Kings 3). He was very wise and very wealthy. God was saying that even the lilies were better clothed than Solomon. And if God clothed the lilies who were here today and tomorrow were gone, would he not do the same for people? He said this in Matthew 6.

Answer: sheep
Matthew 25:33 says, "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."

Answer: Joseph's
After Jesus died on the cross the soldiers brought him to Joseph's tomb and placed him in it. Then they rolled a big stone in front of it and Pilate set a guard to watch it. Then the day after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. While they were there, there was a great earthquake and an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled back the stone. Then he said, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead and indeed He is going before you into Galilee: there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you." (Matthew 28:5-7). Then the women left quickly from the tomb, scared, but with great joy. They ran to bring the disciples the word.

Answer: Graves were opened and people came back to life
In only the Gospel of Matthew is there an account of dead people coming back to life after the death of Jesus. The mindboggling details are found in Matthew 27:51-53.
Here's how the verses read in the NKJV:
"Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many."
Details about the sky turning black, the curtain of the temple being torn in two as well as a centurion at the crucifixion scene proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God can be all found in Matthew as well as other Gospels.
