1 An Angel declares the resurrection of Christ to three women.
9 Christ himself appears to Mary Magdalene;
12 to two going into the country;
14 then to the apostles;
15 whom he sends forth to preach the gospel;
19 and ascends into heaven.

when. 15:42 Mt 28:1 *etc: Lu 23:54,56 24:1 *etc: Joh 19:31 20:1 *etc:

sweet. 14:3,8 2Ch 16:14 Joh 19:40

2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

Mr. West supposes that the women made two different visits to the sepulchre, and, in consequence of that, two distinct reports to the disciples; that Mary Magdalene, with the other Mary and Salome, set out not only early, but very early in the morning, [lian proi,] i.e., before the time appointed to meet Joanna and the other women there. (Lu. 24:10). This interpretation, which is adopted by several eminent writers, is very probable, and reconciles the apparent discrepancy in the evangelists.

Mt 28:1 Lu 24:1 Joh 20:1

3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

Who. 15:46,47 Mt 27:60-66

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

they saw. Mt 28:2-4 Lu 24:2 Joh 20:1

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

entering. Lu 24:3 Joh 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 (ch. 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, (ch. 24:4,) were the same or different.

But it is worthy of remark, that Mohammed, who styled himself the apostle of God, lost his life by poison; and, had he been a true prophet, or a true apostle of God, he would not have fallen into the snare.
