Contextual Overview
1 And the first of the sabbaths, while still very early, they came on the tomb, carrying spices which they prepared; and some were with them. 2 And they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb. 3 And going in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were perplexed about this, even behold, two men in shining clothing stood by them. 5 And they becoming terrified, and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living with the dead? 6 He is not here, but was raised. Remember how He spoke to you, yet being in Galilee, 7 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again. 8 And they remembered His Words. 9 And returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven, and to all the rest. 10 And they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary mother of James, and the rest with them, who told these things to the apostles.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as they were afraid,.... That is, the women were afraid of these angels; these bright appearances and majestic forms, as it was usual for good men and women to be, as appears from the cases of Zacharias, the Virgin Mary, and others:
and bowed down their faces to the earth, through great fear and reverence of these heavenly spirits, and as not being able to bear the lustre of their countenances and garments:
they said unto them, that is, the angels:
why seek ye the living among the dead? intimating, that Christ, though he had been dead, was now living, and not to be sought for in a sepulchre; a way of speaking, much like this, is used in a parable of R. Levi's, concerning Pharaoh's not finding the name of God among the gods of the nations, upon searching for it. Moses and Aaron said to Pharaoh,
"thou fool, is it usual for the dead to "seek" them among the living? שמא החיים אצל המתים, "or ever the living among the dead?" our God is living, these thou speakest of are dead i.''
Nor is Christ to be found among dead sinners, or lifeless professors, but among living saints, and among the churches of the living God; nor is life to be found among the dead works of the law, or to be obtained by lifeless performances on the dead letter of the law.
i Shemot Rabba, sect. 5. fol. 95. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 28:1-11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 24:5. Why seek ye the living among the dead? — This was a common form of speech among the Jews, and seems to be applied to those who were foolishly, impertinently, or absurdly employed. As places of burial were unclean, it was not reasonable to suppose that the living should frequent them; or that if any was missing he was likely to be found in such places.
