Context of Mark 16:5

3And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were amazed. 6And he saith to them, Be not amazed: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 55. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man--In Mt 28:2 he is called "the angel of the Lord"; but here he is described as he appeared to the eye, in the bloom of a life that knows no decay.
