Context of Matthew 28:6
4The guards were so deathly afraid of him that they shook. 5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. 7Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.” 8They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Come, see the place - The tomb in which our Lord was laid was no doubt like the rest of the Jewish burying places, a receptacle for the several dead of a whole family, divided into separate niches, where each had his place.
