μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε, “be not affrighted” (as they had been by the unexpected sight of a man, and wearing heavenly apparel); no ὑμεῖς after the verb here, as in Mt. after φοβεῖσθε, where there is an implied contrast between the women and the guards (vide on Mt.). Ἰησοῦν, etc., Jesus ye seek, the Nazarene, the crucified. Observe the objective, far-off style of description, befitting a visitor from another world. ἠγέρθη, etc.: note the abrupt disconnected style: risen, not here, see (ἴδε) the place (empty) where they laid Him. The empty grave, the visible fact; resurrection, the inference; when, how, a mystery (ἄδηλον, Euthy.).
