XXVIII. 1. “OWE δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ βάτων, ἦλθε Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή, καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία, θεωρῆσαι τὸν 2. Καὶ ἰδού, σεισμὸς ἐγένετο µέγας' ἄγγελος γὰρ Κυρίου

Greek usage, Meyer and Weiss, e.g., con- tending that ὀψὲ always means lateness of the period specified, and still current. Holtzmann, H. C.,remarks that only from the second clause do we learn that by the first is not meant the evening of the Sabbath, but the end of the night follow- ing, conceived as still belonging to the Sabbath.—rq ἐπιφωσκούσῃ, supply ἡμέρᾳ or Spq.—eis µίαν. σ., towards day one of the week (Sabbath in first clause). ---Άλθε, came, singular though more than one concerned, as in xxvii. 56,61. Mary of Magdala, evidently the heroine among the women.—@ewpjjcat τ. τ., to see the sepulchre ; mo word of anointing, that being excluded by the story of the watch. —Ver. 2. The particulars in this and the following two verses are peculiar to Mt.: first, an earthquake (σεισμὸς), as in xxvii. 51; second, an angel descending from heaven ; third, the angel rolling away the stone; fourth, the.angel sitting on the stone as guard.—Ver. 3. ἰδέα (here only in Ν. T.; in Sept., Dan. i. 13, 15), the ap- pearance, aspect (of the countenance of the angel). Vide Trench, Syn., p. 262, on µορφή, σχῆμα, ἰδέα.--ὡς ἀστραπὴ (xxiv. 27), as lightning—brilliant, ἀαζζ]ηρ.---- τὸ ἔνδυμα α., his raiment as distinct from his face—ds χιών, white as snow (cf. Mt. xvii. 2).—Ver. 4. ὡς νεκροί: the keepers, through fear of the angel, were shaken as by an earthquake, and became as dead men—stupefied, helpless, totally incapaci- tated for action by way of preventing what is assumed, though not directly stated, to have happened. The resur- rection is not described.
Vv. 5-7. The angel speaks to the
women.—ph Φοβεῖσθε tpets, fear not ye, with tacit reference to the guards.— οἶδα γὰρ: γὰρ gives a reason for the soothing tone of the address. The angel recognises them as friends of the Crucified.—Ver. 6. οὐκ ἔστιν, etc.: with what sublime simplicity and brevity is the amazing story told! ‘‘ Versus hic incisa habet perquam apta” (Beng.). The last clause is better without the epithet 6 κύριος, more in keeping with the rest. Bengel calls it gloriosa appellatio, but, as Meyer remarks, just on that account it was more liable to be added than omitted.—Ver. 7. ταχὺ πορευθεῖσαι: introducing ‘quite in his own (the evangelist’s) manner of expression ” (Weiss) the command of the angel = go quickly and tell, etc.—mpodye: pre- sent; He is even now going before you into Galilee; in accordance with the pre- diction in xxvi. 32 the risen Shepherd is on His way to the pre-appointed rendez- νους.--ὄψεσθε, there shall ye see Him, and be able to satisfy yourselves that He is indeed risen. With this word ends the message to the disciples.—i8od εἶπον ὑμῖν, behold I said it to you = note what I say, and see if it do not come true. Mark has καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν = as He said to you, referring to the promise of Jesus, and forming part of the message to the disciples.
