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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:11-15

Matthew 28:11-15 The Chief Priests' Story. This tale of the high priests', if it be good for anything, will bear the same cross-examination and analysis as others in the annals of important jurisprudence, and candour is compelled instantly to admit it labours under serious embarrassments. I. In the very outset, the antecedent improbability of particulars crushes it. How came a trained watch all to go to sleep? Would the whole band of sixteen men be likely to fall away at once, and remain in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

Chapter 28In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment was as white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:1-20

The history and evidences of our Saviour’s resurrection, being of infinite importance, are reserved to the last chapter of St. John. Matthew 28:1 . In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week. Εις μιαν Σαββατων , towards the first of sabbaths. The Vulgate Latin reads the same: in prima sabbati. Calvin also says, Le premier des sabbaths. See Luke 24:1. These readings intimate that the sabbath, or first day, was appointed by the Lord himself, as... read more

Matthew 28:11-15Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole Him away. The chief priests’ storyI. Let us begin with an exact understanding of the whole story at once.II. Coolly and dispassionately it becomes us to weigh the tale, therefore, on its merits.1. In the very outset the antecedent improbability of particulars crushes it. How came a trained watch all to sleep?2. The immediate followers of Jesus had no motive to steal the body of their Lord.3. They had no concerted plan to do any such... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:11

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. Ver. 11. Some of the watch came into the city ] God would have the point of the resurrection well proven, for our better settlement, in so weighty a matter. The priests were unworthy to hear of it by an angel; they shall hear of it therefore by the profane soldiers, who came in to them much afraid, and thunder struck, as it were, and told them all. Now... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:12

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Ver. 12. They gave large money ] q.d. We know that you soldiers are good fellows, and both love and lack money. Now if you will but say thus and thus, you shall have a round sum paid you down in ready cash, &c. And what will not such men say or do for money? Pecunia avidos fecit forma mendacii industrios, iam illa promissio temerarios, saith Aretius. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:13

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. Ver. 13. Stole him away while we slept ] If it were Song of Solomon 1:1-17 . Ye keep a good watch the while; and wanted some Epaminondas to slay you for sleeping. 2. If all asleep, who told you his disciples stole him? Did you sleep waking, as lions do? or did they make so little noise that you never heard them about it? as Sir Francis Drake, at Trurapasa in the West Indies, found a Spaniard sleeping securely... read more
