On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It struck a terror upon them, to see themselves baffled in that which was their business here. They were posted here, to keep a dead man in his grave --as easy a piece of service surely as was ever assigned them, and yet it proves too hard for them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The kingdom of Christ, which was now to be set up, made the earth to quake, and terribly shook it. Those who are sanctified, and thereby raised to a spiritual life, while it is in the doing find an earthquake in their own bosoms, as Paul, who trembled and was astonished.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

An angel of the Lord had rolled away the stone and sat upon it - St. Luke and St. John speak of two angels that appeared: but it seems as if only one of them had appeared sitting on the stone without the sepulchre, and then going into it, was seen with another angel, sitting, one where the head, the other where the feet of the body had lain.
