Context of Luke 24:2

1But on the morrow of the sabbath, very early indeed in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the aromatic spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3And when they had entered they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4And it came to pass as they were in perplexity about it, that behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining raiment.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2They found the stone rolled away - An angel from God had done this before they reached the tomb, Matthew 28:2; : On this case we cannot help remarking, that, when persons have strong confidence in God, obstacles do not hinder them from undertaking whatever they have reason to believe he requires; and the removal of them they leave to him: and what is the consequence? They go on their way comfortably, and all difficulties vanish before them.Read the comment
