Matthew 28:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came up and[a] rolled away the stone and sat down[b] on it. 3 Now his appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men.

- Matthew 28:2 Here “and” is supplied because the previous participles (“descended” and “came up”) have been translated as finite verbs
- Matthew 28:2 Or “was sitting”; here “sat down” reflects an ingressive nuance (beginning of a process or entry into a state) in the translation of the imperfect verb
