⁵The angel answered the women, “Don’t be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

Matthew 28:5World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

The angel tells the women not to be afraid and identifies the Jesus they seek as the one who was crucified.

To understand

The guards have just trembled with fear and become like dead men. The angel then announces that Jesus has risen and invites the women to see where he had lain.

A question

How does the invitation to see the place follow the angel’s words to the women?
