Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-15

6Chapter 20The Third Day- Matthew 27:57-66 - Matthew 28:1-15Now that the atoning work of Christ is finished, the story proceeds with rapidity to its close. It was the work of the Evangelist to give the history of the incarnate Son of God; and now that the flesh is laid aside, it is necessary only to give such notes of subsequent events as shall preserve the continuity between the prophetic and priestly work of Christ on earth which it had been His. vocation to describe, and the royal work... 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

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 28:11-20

Chapter 95 Prayer Almighty God, the darkness and the light are both alike unto thee: thou dost not slumber nor dost thou sleep, nor are thine eyelids weary and heavy. Thou dost cast the horseman into a deep sleep, and in the time of his slumber thou dost work out the great wonders of thy name, yea thou dost blind men with light and cause the day to be unto them as the night, and then thou dost send unto them revelations and messages from heaven. In our day there are twelve hours, but one day... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 28:11-15

"Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. (12) And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, (13) Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. (14) And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. (15) So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:12

Gave a great sum of money. These princes of the Jewish nation still persisting in their malice, refused to turn to their Creator by hearty repentance, and wished to persuade the world that Jesus was not risen, sacrificing that money to falsehood, which was given for the use of the temple. For as they offered Judas 30 pieces of silver to betray his Master, so now they offer a great sum of money to suppress a truth so useful and so necessary for man. (St. Jerome) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:11-15

11-15 What wickedness is it which men will not be brought to by the love of money! Here was large money given to the soldiers for advancing that which they knew to be a lie, yet many grudge a little money for advancing what they know to be the truth. Let us never starve a good cause, when we see bad ones so liberally supported. The priests undertook to secure them from the sword of Pilate, but could not secure these soldiers from the sword of God's justice, which hangs over the heads of those... 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
