As the women responded to the invitation of the angel, and looked again into the sepulcher, they saw another angel of shining brightness, who addressed them with the inquiry: “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” These angels were well acquainted with the words of Jesus to his disciples, for they had been with him in the capacity of guardian angels, through all the scenes of his life, and had witnessed his trial and crucifixion. {3SP 199.2}

Da kvinderne efterkom englens indbydelse og atter skuede ind i graven, så de en anden engel i skinnende klæder, og denne spurgte dem: "Hvorfor leder I efter den levende blandt de døde? Han er ikke her, men han er opstanden; kom i hu, hvorledes han talte til jer, da han endnu var i Galilæa, og sagde, at Menneskesønnen skulle overgives i syndige menneskers hænder og korsfæstes og opstå på den tredje dag." (Luk 25,5-7) Disse engle kendte godt til (200) de ord, som Jesus havde talt; thi de havde ledsaget ham hele livet igennem som skytsengle og havde været vidne til hans forhør og korsfæstelse.
