Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - His countenance (ἰδέα, appearance) was like lightning. The angel's aspect was as bright and startling as the flash of lightning (comp. Ezekiel 1:14; Daniel 10:6). His raiment white as snow. Pure and glistening, like the effect of the Transfiguration on the Lord (Matthew 18:2; comp. Acts 1:10; Revelation 10:1).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Like lightning.--The word employed by St. Luke to describe the "raiment has the same force. The "white as snow" has its counterpart in the record of the Transfiguration (Mark 9:3) and the vision of the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7:9.
