Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

entering		Luk 24:3; Jhn 20:8
a young		This appears to have been a different angel from that mentioned by Matthew. The latter sat in the porch of the tomb, and had assumed a terrible appearance to overawe the guard. (Mat 28:1;) but this appeared as a young man, within the sepulchre, in the inner apartment. The two angels spoken of by John (Jhn 20:11) appeared some time after these; but whether they were the same or different cannot be ascertained; nor whether the angels which manifested themselves to the second party of women, recorded by Luke, (Luk 24:4,) were the same or different. Dan 10:5,6; Mat 28:3; Luk 24:4,5; Jhn 20:11,12
