Luke 24:2

τὸν λίθον�. On their way they had considered how they should get over this difficulty, since the stone was “very great” (Mark 16:3). From St Mark’s expression, “looking up,” we infer that the tomb was slightly elevated; and from St John’s “lifted” (ἠρμένον) that the first aperture of the tomb was horizontal. St Matthew also tells us of the Angel and the Earthquake (Matthew 28:2-4).

ἀπό. In Hellenistic Greek there is a tendency to repeat separately the preposition of a compound verb. The ἀπὸ is general. St Mark (Mark 16:3) says, more descriptively, ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου.

2. To other women, who adore Him. Matthew 28:9-10.
