5. One angel speaks (Mt 28:5-7 Mk 16:6-7 Lk 24:5b-8) Then one angel (the one who had moved the stone) spoke: "Don't be alarmed, For I know that You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here. He has risen!" Mark has the above two sentences in reverse order, but
(a) I consider this still to be acceptable, non-verbatim, reporting of speech; 
(b) in any case, people often repeat themselves in spoken communication for emphasis. "Just as he said. See the place where they laid him.

Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: `The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'" Then they remembered his words. The angel continued, "But go quickly, and tell his disciples and Peter, `He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' " Now I have told you."
