Footnotes

4 Grk “But answering, the angel said.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
5 Grk “for I know.”
6 See the note on crucified in .
7 The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, ēgerthē). This “divine passive” (see ) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.
8 Expansions on the text, especially when the Lord is the subject, are a common scribal activity. In this instance, since the subject is embedded in the verb, three major variants have emerged to make the subject explicit: ὁ κύριος (ho kurios, “the Lord”; A C D L W 0148 f1, 13 𝔐 lat), τὸ σῶμα τοῦ κυρίου (to sōma tou kuriou, “the body of the Lord”; 1424 ), and ὁ Ἰησοῦς (ho Iēsous, “Jesus”; Φ). The reading with no explicit subject, however, is superior on both internal and external grounds, being supported by א B Θ 33 892* co.
9 Grk “And behold he.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis ( 1).
10 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions to tell the disciples.
