He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay.
He is not here; for he is risen, as he said--See on Luk 24:5-7. Come--as in Mat 11:28. see the place where the Lord lay--Charming invitation! "Come, see the spot where the Lord of glory lay: now it is an empty grave: He lies not here, but He lay there. Come, feast your eyes on it!" But see on Joh 20:12.
He had told them plainly He would rise, yet they did not believe it and so came unprepared to find Him gone. The niche in the rock where His body lay is now empty; see it for yourselves.
AI summary
He was not stolen, as the priests claimed, nor removed elsewhere, as Mary first thought; He rose by His Father's power and His own, exactly as He had said. The grave could not hold Him, and God would not leave Him there to corruption.
