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 28:16

(16) Then the eleven disciples.—The writer passes over, for some reason which we cannot now discover, all the intermediate appearances, and passes on at once to that which connected itself with the mission and work of the Apostles, and through them of the universal Church.Into a mountain.—Better, to the mountain. The words imply some more definite announcement than that of Matthew 28:7; Matthew 28:10, and therefore, probably, some intermediate meeting. We may think of the mountain as being one... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 28:17

(17) They worshipped him—i.e., fell prostrate at His feet. The act, as has been said, was not new in itself, but it seems certain that our Lord’s manifestations of His Presence after the Resurrection had made the faith of the disciples stronger and clearer (comp. John 20:28), and so the act acquired a new significance.Some doubted.—It seems hard at first to conceive how those who had been present in the upper chamber at Jerusalem (John 20:19-26) could still feel doubt; but the narrative of John... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 28:1-20

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

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
