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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 28:1-10

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 first Easter1 morning.—Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, proceed to the grave, Mark 16:1. They are to be followed (see Luke)... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

The Seven Miraculous Events Matthew 28:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The events centered around the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ were miraculous to say the least. One miracle generally calls for another miracle. In the Book of Matthew we find seven different miracles referred to. This great number of miracles leaves us without a shadow of a doubt as to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It would appear that the Lord created a Divine environment for the resurrection of Christ in... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:6

THE PLACE WHERE THE LORD LAY‘Come, see the place where the Lord lay.’ Matthew 28:6 Such were the words of the angel to the two Marys at the sepulchre. I. A place of sacred interest.—‘Come, see the place.’ Cemetery or village churchyard, the place of our sleeping dead must always be to us a place of sacred and surpassing interest. But as we think of those righteous who are now sleeping, let us not be slow to ask ourselves whether we have a good hope that we shall have a part and fellowship in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:1-6

Jesus Body Is Laid In A Splendid Tomb; The Chief Priests And Pharisees Seal The Tomb And Put A Guard On It So As To Keep Him There; An Angel Opens The Tomb To Reveal That Jesus Has Risen (27:55-28:6). In this subsection we have centrally a picture of the vain arrangements of men by which they hope to thwart God and prevent Jesus from rising, while on one side of this we have God’s arrangement for His Son to have a splendid new tomb, and on the other God’s arrangement to open that tomb so as to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:6

‘He is not here, for he has been raised, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.’ Then he informed them that Jesus was no longer there. He had been raised by God, just as He had promised. And he invited them to see the place where the Lord had lain. He wanted them to glory in the emptiness of the tomb. Note the use of ‘the Lord’. Jesus was now a figure of great authority and power. He was ‘the Lord’ of the ‘angel of the Lord’. (Textual note. Aleph, B, Theta omit ‘Lord. But it... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:1-10

Matthew 28:1-2 Samuel : . The Empty Tomb ( Mark 16:1-Ruth : *, Luke 24:1-2 Kings :).— Mt. is here not so close to Mk., except in Matthew 28:5-Judges :. The note of time in Matthew 28:1 is not clear; the Sab bath would end at sunset on Saturday.— began to dawn ought perhaps to be rendered “ drew on” ( cf. Luke 23:54 * and mg.) . In this case Mt. describes a resurrection on Saturday evening. (See Allen, Comm. on Mk., pp. 188– 190.) He mentions only the two Maries (omitting Salome), and... read more
