Compare all
3 aHis countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.  
4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like adead men.  
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for He is risen, aas He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  
7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed aHe is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”  
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord

9 And1 as they went to tell His disciples, behold, aJesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

Matthew 28:5

I know that ye seek Jesus - Speaking after the manner of men, these women deserved to be the first witnesses of the resurrection of Christ: during life they ministered to him, and in death they were not divided. They attended him to the Cross, notwithstanding their attachment to him exposed them to the most imminent danger; and now they come to watch and weep at his Tomb. The common opinion is, that women are more fickle and less courageous than men. The reverse of this I believe to be the truth, in those who are thoroughly converted to God; and who, previously to conversion, whether man or woman, can be trusted in any case?
