John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:1-20

The ResurrectionFor the Resurrection see special article. 1-10. The Resurrection and appearance to the women (Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). If it be remembered that a considerable number of women visited the tomb—Mary Magdalene, Mary mother of James, Salome (Mk), Joanna (Lk), and ’the other women with them’ (Lk)—the fragmentary accounts of the evangelists are not very difficult to arrange in order. (1) Mary Magdalene and the other women visit the tomb immediately after the resurrection, and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 28:18

(18) All power is given unto me.—Literally, all authority was given, the tense used being that in which men speak of something that occurred at a given point of time. We may possibly connect it with St. Paul’s use of the same tense in the Greek of Philippians 2:8. The exaltation came, the authority was given, as at the moment of the Resurrection, and as the crown of His obedience unto death. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 28:19

(19) Teach all nations.—Better, make disciples of all the heathen. The Greek verb is the same as that which is rendered “instructed” in Matthew 13:52, and is formed from the noun for “disciple.” The words recognise the principle of a succession in the apostolic office. The disciples, having learnt fully what their Master, their Rabbi, had to teach them, were now to become in their turn, as scribes of the kingdom of heaven, the teachers of others. It is, to say the least, suggestive that in this... read more

Matthew 28:1 Did you ever read Isaac Taylor's Saturday Evening? In 1842 B. Gregory introduced it to me. What it was all about I have forgotten, but not the deep tranquil impression made by it Light Which broods above the sunken sun, And dwells in heaven half the night.... Well, that was Isaac Taylor's Saturday evening, and this is mine; and for many years every Saturday evening I have felt just like that, 'In the beginning of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week'.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:16-20

Chapter 21The Gospel for all the Nations through "All the Days" - Matthew 28:16-20The brief concluding passage is all St. Matthew gives us of the thirty-nine days which followed the Resurrection and preceded the Ascension. It would seem as if he fully realised that the manifestations of these days belonged rather to the heavenly than to the earthly work of Jesus, and that therefore, properly speaking, they did not fall within his province. It was necessary that he should bear witness to the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Matthew 28:1-20

14. His Resurrection and the Great Commission. CHAPTER 28 1. His Resurrection. (Matthew 28:1-10 .) 2. The Lying Report of the Jews.(Matthew 28:11-15 .) 3. The Great Commission. (Matthew 28:16-20 .) We have reached the last portion of our Gospel. The end is brief and very abrupt. The account of the resurrection of the Lord as given by Matthew is the briefest of all the Gospels. Only a few of the facts are mentioned. Then the characteristic feature of this last chapter is that no mention is... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Matthew 28:19

28:19 {5} Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them {f} in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:(5) The sum of the apostleship is the proclaiming of the doctrine received from Christ throughout all the world, and the ministering of the sacraments: the efficacy of which things depends not on the minsters but on the Lord.(f) Calling upon the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. read more

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

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
