There had been still another guard about the Saviour's tomb. Evil angels were there. Because the Son of God had fallen in death, His body was even then claimed as the prey of him who has the power of death--the devil. The angels of Satan were present to see that no power should take Jesus from their grasp. But as the mighty being sent from the throne of God approached, they fled in terror from the scene.

Endnu en vagt havde omringet Frelserens grav. Det var onde engle. Fordi Guds Søn nu var død, gjorde han, som har dødens vælde, nemlig Djævelen, fordring på hans legeme som sit bytte. Satans engle var til stede for at overvåge, at ingen magter rev Jesus ud af deres vold. Men da det mægtige væsen, som var udsendt fra Guds trone, nærmede sig, flygtede de skrækslagne fra stedet.
