429. But, while he thought on these things, behold, _the angel of the Lord_ appeared unto _him_ (Joseph) in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Matt. i. 20. [In the following note the Angel is represented, not as appearing unto Joseph, as above, but unto Mary his wife.] 430. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. Then said Mary unto the angel, how shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing, which shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. Luke i. 30 to 35. 431. In the end of the Sabbath, _as it began to dawn_ towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. Matt, xxviii. 1. 432. And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre _at the rising of the sun_. Mark xvi. 1,2. 433. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene, early, _when it was yet dark_, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. John xx. 1. 434. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, _they_ came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. Luke xxiv. 1. [The individuals spoken of in this note as coming to the sepulchre, we learn in the 10th v. are _Mary Magdalene_, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, _and other women_. Now we are told in note 430, (Mark xvi. 1) that it was Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, _and Salome_, that came; in note 429 (Matt, xxviii. 1) that it was only Mary Magdalene, and the _other Mary_; and in note 43 i (John xx. 1) that it was only Mary Magdalene.] 435. And behold there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came _and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it_. Matt, xxviii. 2. 436. And they said among themselves, who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? (And 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_ (the angel of the Lord) _sitting on the right side_, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. Mark xvi. 3, 4, 5. [Thus, in one of these notes the angel is represented as sitting _outside_ the sepulchre upon the stone which he rolled from the door, and in the other, as sitting _within_ the sepulchre on the right side.]
