The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-61

The burial of Jesus. We may consider this in relation to all the persons concerned—Jesus himself, Joseph of Arimathaea, Pontius Pilate, and the Marys. I. JESUS SUBMITTING TO BURIAL . Jesus himself had departed. It was only the deserted house that was now left. Still this was the body of Jesus, and the burial of it had a significance in regard to the spirit that had once inhabited it. 1 . The burial proves the death of Christ. If he had risen immediately it would have been... read more

The Lord's grave. I. THE BURIAL . 1 . Joseph of Arimathaea. He was a rich man and a counsellor. Like Nicodemus, he believed in Christ; but, like Nicodemus, he had not had the courage to avow his convictions. His rank, perhaps, and his riches had kept him back. It was hard for a man in his position to espouse the cause of the despised Prophet of Nazareth. He had, perhaps, absented himself from the council at which the Lord was condemned. He would not take part in that awful crime,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:57-66

The treatment of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is mystically taken to represent his Church (see 1 Corinthians 10:17 ; Ephesians 4:16 ; Colossians 1:18 ). In this figure the fact is strongly set forth, viz. that Christ takes home to himself whatever treatment his Church may receive (see Proverbs 19:1-29 :31; Matthew 25:35-46 ; Acts 9:1 , Acts 9:4 , Acts 9:5 ). This also applies to individual members. And agreeably to this analogy, what was done to the literal body of... read more

The other Mary. The mother of James and Joses (verse 56). These pious women could not tear themselves from the spot where their Lord was buried. The last to leave him dead, they were the first to see him risen. And now they watch the last ceremonies at a distance, intending to complete the imperfect embalmment with loving care as soon as ever the sabbath was over. "Seest thou women's courage?" says Chrysostom; "seest thou their affection? seest thou their noble spirit in expending money [ ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:61

Womanly devotion. "Last at the cross, first at the grave." it does not appear that the women dared do any more than watch our Lord's death, watch his taking down from the cross, and watch where they took his body. But that watching was devotion. They did not feel that the men could do what was really needed for the dead body, and so their devotion planned loyal and loving womanly service as soon as ever the sabbath was over, and they would be clear of our Lord's bitter enemies, and of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:62

The next day, that followed the day of the preparation; ἡ ì τις ἐστι Ì μετα Ì τη Ì ν παρασκευη ì ν , which is [the day] after the preperation. The language of the original Implies that the day was one of a class. The present day was the 15th of Nisan, and both a sabbath and the chief day of the Passover festival. The term "preparation," or "prosabbath" (Judith 8:6), was applied by the Jews to the day preceding the sabbath or the chief festivals (Josephus,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:63

We remember, etc. The prophecy concerning Christ's resurrection on the third day might have been made known to them in various ways. Thus they may have heard and partially understood our Lord's allusion to Jonah ( Matthew 12:40 ), or the words on which the false accusation was founded ( John 2:19 ); or the apostles themselves may have divulged the mysterious announcement, and a general impression had been produced that Jesus had constantly affirmed that he would rise on the third day. It... read more

Command therefore. In consideration of the fact which we have stated, and of our apprehension of some imposture. The rulers had no power in themselves to take the measures which they required. Jesus was a state criminal, and they dared not assume the responsibility of guarding his tomb from invasion. Until the third day. Which was all that was necessary, as Christ had promised to rise on that day—neither before nor after it; and if it passed without the predicted event, he would be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:65

Ye have a watch ( ἐ ì χετε κουστωδι ì αν , take a guard ) . Pilate answers briefly and haughtily, "Well, I give permission; do as you like; take a body of soldiers as a guard, and go your way. " This last verb is imperative, so the former is most probably imperative also. If taken as indicative, the question arises—What guard had they? This is difficult to answer, unless, as Alford supposes, it may refer to some detachment placed at their disposal during the feast. But of... read more
