SECOND SECTIONJUDAISM, AND ITS TALE; OR, THE IMPORTENT END OF THE OLD WORLDMatthew 28:11-1511Now when [as] they [the women] were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto [told]25 the chief priests all the things that were done. 12And when they [the high-priests] were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel,26 they gave large [much]27 money unto the soldiers, 13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14And if this come... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 28:11-20

the Great Commission, of the Risen Lord Matthew 28:11-20 What absurdity in this mendacious explanation! How could the soldiers know who stole the body, if they were asleep? Skeptics have to believe greater marvels than believers. Was it likely that Christ’s friends would have wished to unwind the clothes that covered that sacred body? Would His enemies have taken the time, or forfeited the rich shroud that Joseph’s love provided? Men will believe any lie rather than God’s truth, because... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:7-20

The Final Triumph (28:7-20). Following this remarkable experience of the women, we now come to the climax of the Gospel, the resurrection appearances and the giving of the Great Commission. The subsection commences with an appearance to the women disciples, (a reminder of God’s interest in the seemingly unimportant who are faithful in worship and service), goes on to deal with men’s vain attempts to deny the resurrection by falsehoods, and finalises in the appearance of Jesus to His disciples... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:11-15

The Chief Priests Bribe The Guards So That They Will Say That Jesus’ Body Was Stolen (28:11-15). This whole Section from Matthew 26:1 onwards commenced with the Chief Priests bribing Judas so that He would betray Jesus (Matthew 26:14-16), prior to which was the anointing of Jesus (Matthew 26:6-13), now it ends here with the Chief Priests bribing the guards so as to lie about His body being stolen, after which we learn of Jesus’ heavenly anointing as He is invested with all authority in Heaven... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:12

‘And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers.’ As a result the Chief Priests called an emergency meeting of some of the Sanhedrin in order to discuss what they should do. The conclusion that they came to was that they should bribe the soldiers to lie on their behalf, and to this end they gave them much money. They were not to be bought cheaply. There is disagreement about whether these soldiers were Roman soldiers or Temple servants.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 28:11-15

No other evangelist hath this passage, which was necessary to be inserted by Matthew: 1. To satisfy readers how it could come to pass, that Matthew should know of the earthquake, or concussion of the air rather, and that an angel came and rolled away the stone; for all this was done, and Christ risen, before the women came: it came out by the watch, or by Pilate to whom the watch related it, or else by some of the priests and elders, who did not keep counsel so well as others. 2. To show the... read more

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 28:13. Say ye, etc.—In addition to all the judgments of impotency, embarrassment, and rejection, they are now subjected to the judgment of stupidity (Lange). Let the critic say what better expedient they could have thought of, before he assigns its poverty as a reason for discrediting the story. That St. Matthew, and he alone, records it, is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that, his being the first written Gospel, and, moreover, the Gospel for the Jew, it behoved... read more
