12. ἀγγέλους. Here only do angels appear in S. John’s narrative. Comp. Joh 1:51, Joh 12:29, [Joh 5:4]. An appearance of angels to women occurs in all the accounts of the Resurrection. We are ignorant of the laws which determine such appearances; the two Apostles had seen nothing. For ἐν λευκοἱς comp. Rev 3:4 : in Rev 3:5; Rev 4:4, ἱματίοις is added.
