Mattheüs 28:4 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 28:4

And for fear of him the keepers did shake
Though they were soldiers, Roman soldiers and veterans, who had been used to terrible sights in the field of battle; were men of courage, and fearless of danger; and yet were seized with a panic, and every limb of them shook and trembled at the sight of the angel, for fear he was come as an executioner of divine vengeance upon them; who had been concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, had watched him as he hung upon the cross, and now his body in the sepulchre: and even supposing no consciousness of guilt in them, or dread of punishment from him; yet such was the glory and majesty in which he appeared, of which they had never seen the like before, that it had this effect upon them:

and became as dead men:
they turned pale, as dead men, and had scarce any life, or spirit, left in them.

Mattheüs 28:4 In-Context

2 En ziet, er geschiedde een grote aardbeving; want een engel des Heeren, nederdalende uit den hemel, kwam toe, en wentelde de steen af van de deur, en zat op denzelven.
3 En zijn gedaante was gelijk een bliksem, en zijn kleding wit gelijk sneeuw.
4 En uit vrees van hem zijn de wachters zeer verschrikt geworden, en werden als doden.
5 Maar de engel, antwoordende, zeide tot de vrouwen: Vreest gijlieden niet; want ik weet, dat gij zoekt Jezus, Die gekruisigd was.
6 Hij is hier niet; want Hij is opgestaan, gelijk Hij gezegd heeft. Komt herwaarts, ziet de plaats, waar de Heere gelegen heeft.
