John 12:30-31. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
