1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated. 2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women) has been specified in the translation for clarity (the same has been done in v. 8). 3 tn Or “They were extremely afraid.” 4 sn Bowed their faces to the ground. Such respect for angels is common: Dan 7:28; 10:9, 15. 5 sn By referring to Jesus as the living, the angels make it clear that he is alive. There should be no surprise. |
