Matthew 28:8

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:1-20

The Sabbath coming to an end, the two Mary's arrive at the grave early in the morning. Some have thought that Mary Magdalene came twice, though this does not seem clear, except that she evidently returned after she told Peter and John of the absence of the Lord's body (John 20:1-11). It is difficult to determine how the four accounts of the Gospel writers fit together in place, and the writer is not aware of any satisfactory explanation of this. But we know that each account is inspired of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

RESURRECTION Perhaps the most important comment we can make on this chapter will be the order of the ten events on the day of which it speaks. 1. The three women, Mary Magdalene; Mary, the mother of James; and Salome, start for the sepulcher, followed by other women bearing spices. 2. These find the stone rolled away and Mary Magdalene, goes to tell the disciples (Luke 23:55 to Luke 24:9 ; John 20:1-2 ). 3. Mary, the mother of James, draws near the tomb and discovers the angel (Matthew 28:2 ).... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 28:1-10

Chapter 94 Prayer Almighty God, if thy blessing be given unto us, we shall know no more any pain of want or any weakness of fear. Send thine angels to us to tell us what thou wouldst have us do. With the music of their message in our ears we shall run, if with fear yet with great joy, to bring thy disciples word. The word is thine, every letter and tone of it; it is not ours else it would perish in the wind which first hears it, but it is thy word, full of the music of thine own heart, tender... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 28:1-8

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. (2) And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. (3) His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: (4) And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. (5) And the angel answered and said unto the women,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:1-8

1-8 Christ rose the third day after his death; that was the time he had often spoken of. On the first day of the first week God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. On this day did He who is the Light of the world, shine out of the darkness of the grave; and this day is from henceforward often mentioned in the New Testament, as the day which Christians religiously observed in solemn assemblies, to the honour of Christ. Our Lord Jesus could have rolled back the stone by his own power,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 28:1-99

Matthew 28 VERSE Mat_28:1 of this chapter tells us that the two Marys who had watched His burial were back at the sepulchre immediately the sabbath day had ended. They came “as it was the dusk of the next day after the sabbath” (New Trans.). The day according to Jewish reckoning ended at sunset, and their devotion was such that directly the sabbath was over they were on the move and visited the grave. It is not easy to piece together the details given us by the four Evangelists to form a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 28:4-8

The message of the angel: v. 5. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. v. 6. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. v. 7. And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him; lo, I have told you. v. 8. And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, and did... read more

PART SEVENTHChrist in the Perfection of His Kingly GloryMatthew 28:0UPON MATTHEW’S ACCOUNT OF THE RESURRECTIONThe relation of this Gospel of the Resurrection to the whole evangelical tradition is to be seen only after a brief sketch of the latterI. The Appearances in Judæa, in Jerusalem, at Emmaus, belong to the Period of the Israelitish Passover1.

the Open and Empty Tomb Matthew 28:1-10 Ere the sun had risen and while the glory of the dawn was faint in the Eastern sky, the women were well on their way. But He whom they sought had gone. How often we look down into the grave of the dead past, and into the vault where we have buried twin-souls; or we peer for help into the diaries, prayers and rites of departed saints or a moribund church-but we do not find the Lord. The divine Leader of souls is not behind us, but before; not in the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:1-20

“He is not here, He is risen!" That, surely, is the sweetest music. How beautifully it crowns the King. His enemies have rejected Him, and have proved their malice by handing Him over to their common, their last, their most terrible enemy-Death. The King proves His Kingship by overcoming that enemy in His dying, and on this Easter morning, the first, stands on His own earth again, having grappled with and vanquished the great foe of the race. In verses Mat 28:8-20 we have a glimpse of the... read more
