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

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

‘Now after (or ‘late on’) the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.’ The women disciples had to wait until the Sabbath was over, because by Jewish Law they could not anoint the body of Jesus on the Sabbath. And while the other women were finalising their preparations the two Marys were sent on towards dawn in order to survey the situation and to consider the possibility of the removal of the great stone... read more

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's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:2

‘And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat on it. They were probably somewhat apprehensive. There had been a great earthquake, following closely on the earthquake that had caused such damage on the day of crucifixion (Palestine was a land of earthquakes. Josephus and others refer to a number of earthquakes connected with Jerusalem, compare Amos 1:1; Zechariah 14:4-5), so that they may well have wondered... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:3-4

‘His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow, and for fear of him the watchers quaked, and became as dead men.’ The appearance of the angel was as lightning in its splendour, and his raiment was pure white. They would be reminded of Daniel’s vision when he too had seen an angel fitting this description (Daniel 10:5-6). ‘White as snow’ indicates a certain God-likeness (Daniel 7:9). So glorious was the figure that the guards at the tomb, ‘the watchers’ (compare Matthew 27:36),... 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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 28:1

We are now come to that part of the Gospel which treats concerning the resurrection of Christ, and the converse which he had upon the earth for forty days, Acts 1:3, until the time of his ascension into heaven. Matthew and Mark are the shortest in this narration. I shall therefore, only consider what Matthew saith, and what the other evangelists speak as to the same things which he mentions, leaving out what the other evangelists have (not at all mentioned by him) to be discoursed in their... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 28:2-4

Matthew alone telleth us this; all the other evangelists agree that when the women came they found the stone rolled away, which eased them of the solicitude they had as they came, saying amongst themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? Matthew saith, an angel descended and rolled away the stone, and came and sat upon it. This angel had assumed a shape, for he appeared to those that saw him, as to his countenance, like lightning; as to his garment, as one... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 28:1. In the end of the Sabbath.—Late on the Sabbath day (R.V.).—We must assume, with Meyer, Lange, and Alford, that Matthew here follows the natural division of the day from sunrise to sunrise, which seems to be favoured by the following definition of time: “As it began to dawn,” etc.… It is certain and agreed on all hands that Matthew means the time after the close of the Jewish Sabbath, the time before daybreak on the first day, of the week, or the Christian Sunday... read more
