What I didn't do

I am the angel who was sent by Yahweh down
unto to the earth,
down to the outskirts of Jerusalem,
at break of dawn on Easter day
to free and roll away the tethered stone
set then to block, close up decisively,
the egress and the entryway of Jesu’s
gifted tomb.
 
Forgive me please, HaShem,  
if I make bold to say that I’ll be devil damned,
if what I did so early on that morn
showed Jesus to be You, the God of all,
instead of a just man that you redeemed
from death,
confirming that he was indeed, but only this,
your sole anointed one, your regent,
and a king from David's seed,  
whom Israel should heed.
 
May heaven’s might forbid
that anyone should state such red face making claims
about the import of the purposed aim
of my most heavenly commissioning!
 
They have has no basis in the scriptural report
that only Matthew makes within his Gospel text
of what went on when I released  and blew the bonds
that held that closing stone in place
to kingdom come.
And anyone who says they do is more than blind
to what good Matthew said.
He’s also dumb.

J-Z's reading something that isn't there into Matthew's story of the what the angel who was sent to open Jesus's tomb was up to in doing so.
