Verse 5. Saint Matthew says the angel was sitting on the stone, whilst Saint Mark says that they saw him sitting on the right side of the sepulchre. This must not surprise us; for the angel which first appeared sitting upon the stone, might have been afterwards seen by him sitting on the right side of the sepulchre. Theophy.—Perhaps the angel mentioned by Saint Matthew is different from the one mentioned by Saint Mark. Or it may be understood, that the women entering the monument, which may mean the enclosure of it, saw the angel sitting on the stone, which was placed on the right side of the sepulchre. Saint Augustine.
