Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 20:12

"and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain." — John 20:12 (ASV)

Sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

I have no doubt that the angel who sat at the feet was quite as content to sit there as the other was to sit at the head. If any two of you are sent upon the Lord's business, do not pick and choose as to where you shall be, or what you shall do. One at the head, and the other at the feet. I am afraid that, if they had been men instead of angels, both would have wanted to sit at the head, and the feet would have been neglected. This sight seems to remind one of the mercy-seat, where the cherubim stood facing each other, and covering the mercy-seat with their outspread wings.
