Yes, there were two angels present. Matthew mentions one angel speaking but does not say there was only one. John says that two were present. As Norman Geisler says, "John says there were two and wherever there are two there is also one; it never fails! The critic has to add the word 'only' to Matthew's account in order to make it contradictory." [When Critics Ask (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 1999), p. 365]

Yes, this occurs in Luke's Gospel and, in slightly different circumstances, John. In Mark's Gospel, there was only a young man in the tomb, already present when the women arrived. In Matthew's Gospel, there was clearly only one angel, who arrived at the same time as the women.

Did Jesus tell Mary Magdalene to tell Peter he had risen?

Matthew's Gospel: An angel came down and sat on the stone, and told the women that Jesus had risen. Mark's Gospel: A young man inside the tomb told the women that Jesus had risen. Luke's Gospel: Two men inside the tomb, presumably angels, told the women that Jesus had risen. John's Gospel: No one told the women that Jesus was risen. Mary Magdalene went to the tomb alone, but when she saw that the stone had been moved, she ran back and told the disciples, apparently without looking inside. After Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' had visited the tomb and found it empty, Mary saw Jesus himself.

According to the Gospel of Luke, the statement was made by angels who appeared at Jesus' empty tomb following His resurrection.Luke 24:4, 5 - And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" [NKJV]

What angel was at Jesus' empty tomb?

In Mark's Gospel, there was a young man in the empty tomb, with no suggestion that he was an angel. In Matthew's Gospel, as the women approached, an earthquake moved the stone and an angel came down and sat upon the stone. The story does not say who the angel was. In Luke's Gospel, the stone was already moved and there were two men, apparently angels inside the empty tomb. The story does not say who the angels were. In John's Gospel, the stone was moved, but when the disciple whom Jesus loved looked in, he did not see an angel, nor did Peter when he actually went into the tomb. Some time later, Mary looked into the tomb and saw two angels inside. The story does not say who the angels were.
