Commentaries on Luke 24:2
- 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
