Context of Matthew 28:7

5The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid! I know you’re looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He’s not here. He has been brought back to life as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying. Then go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has been brought back to life. He’s going ahead of them into Galilee. There they will see him. Take note that I have told you.” 8They hurried away from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly, Jesus met them and greeted them. They went up to him, bowed down to worship him, and took hold of his feet.

Commentaries on Matthew 28:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Go quickly and tell his disciples - Thus these faithful women proclaim the Gospel to those who were afterwards to be the teachers of the whole human race! Behold what honor God puts upon those who persevere in his truth, and continue to acknowledge him before men! That he is risen from the dead - There is a remarkable saying of R.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Tell his disciples - Mark adds particularly, “tell Peter.” This was a kind message to Peter, who had so recently denied his Lord.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-10The four gospels each emphasize different aspects of the empty tomb and resurrection appearances.
