The  '  young  man '  says  to  the  women  in  Peter :
'  Why  are  ye  come  ?  (rt  yjkdaTe ;)  Wliom  seek  ye  ?  (rtVa
^rjTeLTe ;)  Him  who  was  crucified  ?  {fxr)  rov  crTavpcjOeuTa
iKelvov ;)  He  is  risen  and  gone  away  [avicrTiq  /cat
aTTrjXdev). But  if  ye  do  not  believe,  stoop  down,
and  see  the  place  where  he  lay  [uapaK-uxpaTe  kol  ISare
TOP  roTTov  evda  eKeiTo),  that  he  is  not  there,  for  he  is
risen  and  gone  away  thither  whence  he  was  sent"
[dvecTTT]  yap  /cat  aTrrjXdeu  eKel  oOev  aTrecnaXiq)'  In  Mat-
thew (xxviii. 5  f.)  the  angel '  answered  and  said  unto  the
women '  (who  had  not  spoken  to  him,  apparently)
'  "  Fear  not  ye  :  for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Jesus  which
hath  been  crucified  (oTSa  yap  ort  'Itjo-ovu  top  iaravpoi-
ixevov  ^yjTeLTe). He  is  not  here,  for  he  rose  (ov/c  ecrrti/
a)8e,  riyepdr)  yap)-,  even  as  he  said. Come,  see  the
place  where  the  Lord  lay  (SeOre  tSere  top  tottov  ottov
e/c€tro). And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  disciples  he
rose  from  the  dead  {jiy^pOiq  arro  rwv  veKpcov) ;  and  lo,
he  goetli  before  you  into  Galilee  ;  there  shaU  ye  see
him:  lo,  I  have  told  you."'  In  Mark  (xvi. G  f.),  this
'young  man '  in  the  tomb  says :  'Be  not  amazed;  ye  seek
Jesus  the  Nazarene  which  hath  been  crucified  {^Iiqa-ovv
tpqTexre  rov  NaS^aprjvcu  top  iaTavpcoixeuou). He  rose
{rjyepOrj) ;  he  is  not  here  ;  beliold,  the  place  where  they
laid  him  !  (ov/c  eaTip  wSe '  t8e  6  tottos  ottov  edrjKau
avTop). But  go  tell  his  disciples  and  Peter,  He  goetli
before  you  into  Galilee :  there  shall  ye  see  him,  as  he
said  unto  you.'  The  close  resemblance  of  these  two
accounts  in  the  first  and  second  Gospels  is  striking,  and
scarcely  less  so  is  the  resemblance,  with  important
variations,  of  the  third  Synoptic  (xxiv. 5  IT.).
