And lest they should think it was not
the right Jesus he spoke of, Yes, saith he, it is the same Jesus
that you mean; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, do you not? Why, "he is
risen, he is not here." But do you speak seriously and in good
earnest? Yea, surely; if you will not believe me, "behold the place
where they laid him." This scripture is very clear to our purpose.
But again, in Matt. 28: 3-7, there is an angel as before bearing
witness of the resurrection of Jesus. "His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the
keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered
and said unto them," the women who came to seek Jesus, "Fear you
not; but let them that seek to keep the Lord in his grave fear if
they will, for you have no ground of fear who seek the Jesus that
was crucified: he is not here, he is risen; he cannot be here, in
body, and risen too: if you will not believe me, come, see where the
Lord lay. And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee, there
shall you see him." But shall we be sure of it? "Yea," saith the
angel; "lo, it is I that have told you." See how plainly this
scripture also doth testify of Christ's resurrection.
