Lukas 24:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:4

And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout,
&c.] About the body of Christ, and its being gone, what should become of it, whither it was removed, and by what means, and by whom; whether by a friend, or foe, for they had no thought, nor expectation of a resurrection; behold, two men stood by them in shining garments;
who were angels in the form of men; and as these were the first witnesses of Christs resurrection, there were two of them; for by the mouth of two or three witnesses every thing is established. Matthew and Mark take notice but of one; but John makes mention of two, as here, seen by Mary Magdalene, though in a different posture; they were sitting, the one at the head, the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain; but when the rest of the women came, they were risen up, and stood close by them, on a sudden, at an unawares, being arrayed in white raiment, as white as snow, as a token of their purity and innocence, and as bringers of good tidings; and as joining in the triumph of their Lord's resurrection: their garments were bright and glittering like lightning, to set forth the glory and majesty of these celestial spirits, and that they might be known to be what they were.

Lukas 24:4 In-Context

2 En zij vonden den steen afgewenteld van het graf.

3 En ingegaan zijnde, vonden zij het lichaam van den Heere Jezus niet.

4 En het geschiedde, als zij daarover twijfelmoedig waren, zie, twee mannen stonden bij haar in blinkende klederen.

5 En als zij zeer bevreesd werden, en het aangezicht naar de aarde neigden, zeiden zij tot haar: Wat zoekt gij den Levende bij de doden?

6 Hij is hier niet, maar Hij is opgestaan. Gedenkt, hoe Hij tot u gesproken heeft, als Hij nog in Galilea was,
