Acts 1:10 KJV
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
John 20:12 KJV
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Luke 24:4 KJV
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
There is every reason to assume that the two that appeared to the disciples as Jesus was taken into heaven are the same two that appeared to Mary at the empty tomb of our Lord. A comparison of the tree passages where they are specifically mentioned tells us they are more than mere men, they are angels.
Angels ministered to the Lord after His temptation by the devil (Matthew 4:11) and while He was in the garden before his capture (Luke 22:43). And angels performed a ministry of comfort to the disciples of the Lord at His resurrection and at His ascension into Heaven.
