"Go your way," the angels had said to the women, "tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see Him, as He said unto you." These angels had been with Christ as guardian angels throughout His life on earth. They had witnessed His trial and crucifixion. They had heard His words to His disciples. This was shown by their message to the disciples, and should have convinced them of its truth. Such words could have come only from the messengers of their risen Lord.

Men gå hen, havde englene sagt til kvinderne, og sig til hans disciple og til Peter, at han går forud for jer til Galilæa; dér skal I se ham, som han har sagt jer. Disse engle havde fulgt Kristus som hans skytsengle under hele hans tilværelse på jorden. De havde været vidne til hans domfældelse og korsfæstelse. De havde hørt hans ord til sine disciple. Dette viste sig gennem deres budskab til disciplene og burde have overbevist dem om dets sandhed. Sådanne ord kunne kun stamme fra deres opstandne Herres sendebud.
