Archbishop Averky (Tauchev) Explanation of the four Gospels IntraText CT - Text |
In narrating about this greatest event, all four Evangelists say nothing on the mysterious and for us, incomprehensible side of it. They don’t describe how it came about, and how the Resurrected Lord came out from the tomb without disturbing the seal. They speak only of the earth-quake, which was the result of the Lord’s Angel rolling the stone away from the entrance to the tomb (after the Lord had risen — which is emphasized in our church songs — and not as is commonly thought, that the Angel rolled the stone away so that the Lord may come out of the tomb), on the Angel’s dialogue directed at the women myrrhbearers that arrived at the tomb, and a further range of appearances by the Resurrected Lord to the them and His disciples.
