437. And 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 (angels of the Lord) _stood_ by them in shining garments. Luke xxiv. 3 and 4. [In notes 435, 436, and 438, the angels of the Lord are represented, not as _standing_, as above, but as _sitting_.] 438. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping; and as she wept she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre. And seeth _two_ angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. John xx, 11, 12. [In this, and note 437, there are represented as being _two_ angels, while according to notes 435 and 434, there was only _one_. In this note also, as well as in note 434, we are told that they had _white_ garments on, and in note 435, we are told they were _shining_ garments. We are likewise told in this note, that Mary merely _looked_ into the sepulchre; while in note 436, we are positively informed, that she and those who accompanied her, _went into it_.] 439. And the _angel_ answered and said unto the women, fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord lay, Matt, xxviii. 5, 6. 440. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her. Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him? Rabboni, which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them. I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God. John xx. 14 to.17. [In the former of these notes, the _angel_ is represented as telling the women of Christ's rising from the dead; in the latter, _Christ_ is represented as telling them _himself_.] 441. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; _there shall ye see him_. Lo, I have told you. Then the eleven disciples _went away into Galilee_, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when _they saw him they worshipped him_; but some doubted. Matt, xxviii. 7, 16, 17. 442. And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and _found the eleven gathered together,_ and them that were with them, Saying, the Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, _Jesus himself stood in the midst of them_, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Luke xxiv. 33 to 36.
