20:12 two angels in white. Matt. 28:2 records “an angel”; Mark 16:5 “a young man”; and Luke 24:4 “two men” (called “a vision of angels” in Luke 24:23). There is no necessary contradiction since the angels must have appeared in human form and one of them may be singled out, perhaps because he was the speaker. What Mary saw may also differ from what the other women saw since she remained alone at the tomb after Peter and John had left.
