NETBible

NET Notes

tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women) has been specified in the translation for clarity (the same has been done in v. 8).

tn Or “They were extremely afraid.”

sn Bowed their faces to the ground. Such respect for angels is common: Dan 7:28; 10:9, 15.

sn By referring to Jesus as the living, the angels make it clear that he is alive. There should be no surprise.
