马太福音 28:2-3 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:2

And, behold. A wonderful sight met their eyes. The following event took place before their arrival; they saw only the result. No mortal eye beheld, and no pen has recorded, the actual issuing of the Lord from the closed tomb. There was a great earthquake. St. Matthew does not attempt to give the exact sequence of events. Probably the shock, caused by the sudden advent and action of the angel, befell as the women were approaching the cemetery. Christ had risen before this occurrence,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:2

Angel ministries. Concerning the nature or the location of angels we do know, probably we can know, nothing. When they have come into the earthly spheres they have always appeared to be men like ourselves; their peculiarity has not been their wings, but their purity and radiancy. But one thing does come out quite clearly and impressively from every case of angel visitation. They are always ministers, engaged in some form of ministering. Whatever dignity we may think to belong to the angels,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:3

His countenance ( ἰδε ì α , appearance ) was like lightning. The angel's aspect was as bright and startling as the flash of lightning (comp. Ezekiel 1:14 ; Daniel 10:6 ). His raiment white as snow. Pure and glistening, like the effect of the Transfiguration on the Lord ( Matthew 18:2 ; comp. Acts 1:10 ; Revelation 10:1 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:2

There was a great earthquake - Rather there “had been.” It does not mean that this was while they were there, or while they were going, but that there “had been” so violent a commotion as to remove the stone. The word rendered here as “earthquake” does not of necessity mean that the convulsion extended to the earth, but only that there had been such a concussion as to remove the stone.And sat upon it - Sat upon it when the keepers saw him, Matthew 28:4. It is not said that he was sitting when... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:3

His countenance - In our language the word “countenance” refers to the “face only;” in the original it refers to his “whole person.” His “general aspect, or the appearance of the angel himself,” was, etc.Like lightning - Peculiarly bright and shining.His raiment white as snow - Celestial beings are usually represented as clothed in white, Acts 1:10; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 3:4-5; Revelation 4:4; Revelation 7:13-14. White, among the Jews, was the symbol of “purity or innocence.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:2

Matthew 28:2. And behold, there was a great earthquake While the women were making these preparations for embalming the body of Jesus, he arose from the dead; his resurrection being preceded by the descent of an angel, whose appearance at the sepulchre was ushered in with a great earthquake and probably also a storm, the word σεισμος , here rendered earthquake, signifying any shaking, whether in the earth, air, or sea. Thus, chap. Matthew 8:24, σεισμος μεγας εν τη θαλλασση , is rightly... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:3-4

Matthew 28:3-4. His countenance was like lightning Coruscations of light darting from his face; and his raiment white as snow Glittering with an extraordinary lustre, beyond what any human eyes could bear; and for fear of him the keepers Though Romans and soldiers; did shake, and became as dead men Falling down on their faces in a most helpless condition; for they were effectually frightened by the majestic appearance of the angel, and especially by the lightning which flashed from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-15

RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION161. Morning of the resurrection (Matthew 28:1-15; Mark 16:1-11; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18)It is not surprising that there are differences in the accounts of what people saw on the Sunday morning when Jesus rose from the dead. The sight of the empty tomb and the heavenly messengers produced a mixture of reactions - excitement, joy, anxiety, fear, wonder. There was confusion as people rushed here and there to tell others. One writer records what he heard from some,... read more
