cometh . Mary Magdalene , as well as Peter , was evidently at the sepulchre twice on that morning of the resurrection. The first time of her going was some short time before her companions , the other Mary and Salome . Matthew 28 . 1 , and observing that the stone had been removed , she returned to inform Peter and John. In the meantime , the other Mary and Salome came to the sepulchre , and saw the angel , as recorded by Matthew and Mark. While these women returned to the city , Peter and John went to the sepulchre , passing them at some distance , or going another way , followed by Mary Magdalene , who stayed after their return. This was her second journey; when she saw two angels , and then Jesus himself , as here related; and immediately after Jesus appeared to the other women , as they returned to the city . Matthew 28 . 9 , Matthew 28 . 10. In the meantime Joanna and her company arrived at the sepulchre , when two angels appeared to them , and addressed them as the one angel had done the other women . Luke 24 . 1-10. They immediately returned to the city , and by some means found the apostles before the others arrived , and informed them of what they had seen; upon which Peter went a second time to the sepulchre , but saw only the linen clothes lying .

My Lord . The disbelief of the apostle is the means of furnishing us with a full and satisfactory demonstration of the resurrection of our Lord. Throughout the divine dispensations every doctrine and ever important truth is gradually revealed; and here we have a conspicuous instance of the progressive system. An angel first declares the glorious event; the empty sepulchre confirms the women's report. Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene shewed that he was alive; that to the disciples at Emmaus proved that it was at the least the spirit of Christ; that to the eleven shewed the reality of his body; and the conviction given to Thomas proved it the self-same body that had been crucified. Incredulity itself is satisfied; and the convinced apostle exclaims , in the joy of his heart , "My Lord and my God!"
