2And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4suddenly two men … stood beside them: Angels often appear as young men in the Bible (Genesis 18:2; 19:1, 10; Joshua 5:13; Judges 13:6–11; Hebrews 13:2). Radiant apparel (bright, shining clothes) is a symbol of purity and holiness (Daniel 10:5–6; Acts 1:10; Revelation 4:4; 19:14).Read the comment
