Matthew 28:11 continues the narrative — the guards who trembled in verse 4 now report the events to the chief priests.

In Matthew 27:66, these same guards secured the tomb; now they tremble at the angel's appearance, showing their terror at the resurrection.

Daniel 10:7 shows men terror-stricken by a divine vision, fleeing in fear — a strong parallel to the guards' terrified shaking.

Mark 16:6 tells the women 'Don't be alarmed' — in contrast to the guards' terror at the same angelic presence.

Job 4:14 describes fear-induced trembling in a vision — a parallel physical reaction to a divine encounter, like the guards' shaking.

Acts 9:7 describes Paul's companions standing speechless in fear at a heavenly light — a similar reaction to a theophany.

Acts 16:29 shows the jailer trembling in fear of divine power — a parallel terror response to the guards' awe at the angel.

Psalm 48:6 uses trembling to depict enemies' terror before God's power — a thematic parallel to the guards' fear at the angel.
