馬太福音 28:3 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

For the proof of Christ's resurrection, we have here the testimony of the angel, and of Christ himself, concerning his resurrection. Now we may think that it would have been better, if the matter had been so ordered, that a competent number of witnesses should have been present, and have seen the stone rolled away by the angel, and the dead body reviving, as people saw Lazarus come out of the grave, and then the matter had been past dispute; but let us not prescribe to Infinite Wisdom, which... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 28:1-10

28:1-10 Late on the Sabbath, when the first day of the week was beginning to dawn, Mary from Magdala and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And, look you, there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, and his garment was as white as snow. Those who were watching were shaken with fear, and became as dead men. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:3

His countenance was like lightning ,.... There was such a lustre and brightness in his face, that it glittered like lightning: such a description is in Daniel 10:6 , and his raiment white as snow : the word "white" is left out in the Vulgate Latin, and in Munster's Hebrew Gospel: the angel appeared clad in white, as a token of the purity and innocence of his nature; and because of the victory and triumph of Christ over death and the grave; and that he might be known and taken by the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:3

His countenance - His appearance, ἡ ιδεα αυτου ; or, his face, for so the word is used in some of the best Greek writers. It seems, from Mark 16:5 , that this angel had assumed the appearance of a young man. Like lightning - Coruscations of glory continually flaming from his face. This might produce the confusion mentioned Matthew 28:2 . His raiment white as snow - He was clothed in garments emblematical of the glad tidings which he came to announce. It would have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

Jesus rises from the dead, and appears to the holy women. ( Mark 16:1-8 ; Luke 24:1-12 ; John 20:1-10 .) It is to be noted that there are great and important variations in the four (or, with St. Paul's, 1 Corinthians 15:1-58 ., the five) accounts of the events of the Resurrection, which have given welcome occasion to the sceptic to cast doubts upon the whole transaction. The divergences in the narratives are plainly to be ascribed to the facts that the writers did not depend upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

The Resurrection. I. THE ANGEL AT THE SEPULCHRE . 1 . The holy women. The great sabbath was over. It had been a busy day in the temple; all had been done as usual. The priests little thought, while performing their elaborate ritual, that the one great Sacrifice, Oblation, and Satisfaction for the sins of the whole world, the Sacrifice of which all their sacrifices were but figures, had been offered up on Calvary. Yet the great darkness and the portents which had marked the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

Lessons of the Resurrection. The four evangelists concur in setting forth the three successive steps in the evidence by which our Lord's incredulous followers were at length persuaded of the reality of his resurrection. These are: 1 . The fact of the sepulchre being found empty. 2 . The testimony of the angels who were seen in it. 3 . The appearances of our Lord himself. On these points we shall not now particularly dwell, but direct attention to certain side lights which the... 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

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 28:3-4

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
