Matthew 28:11-16 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:11-15

For the further proof of the resurrection of Christ, we have here the confession of the adversaries that were upon the guard; and there are two things which strengthen this testimony?that they were eye-witnesses, and did themselves see the glory of the resurrection, which none else did?and that they were enemies, set there to oppose and obstruct his resurrection. Now observe here, I. How this testimony was given in to the chief priests (Matt. 28:11); when the women were going to bring that... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:16-20

This evangelist passes over several other appearances of Christ, recorded by Luke and John, and hastens to this, which was of all other the most solemn, as being promised and appointed again and again before his death, and after his resurrection. Observe, I. How the disciples attended his appearance, according to the appointment (Matt. 28:16); They went into Galilee, a long journey to go for one sight of Christ, but it was worth while. They had seen him several times at Jerusalem, and yet they... read more

28:11-15 While they were on their way, certain of the guard came to the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. When they had met with the ciders, they formed a plan. They gave a considerable amount of money to the soldiers. "Say," they said, "'His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.' And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will use our influence, and we will see to it that you have nothing to worry about." They took the money and followed their... read more

28:16-20 So the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had instructed them to go. And they saw him and worshipped him; but some were not sure. Jesus came and spoke to them. "All power," he said, "is given to me in heaven and upon earth. Go, therefore, and make all nations my disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to keep all the commandments I have given you. And, look you, I am with you throughout... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:11

Now when they were going ,.... Or were gone from the sepulchre: that is, the women, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, and their companions, when they were going, or gone, and before they could come to the disciples, to inform them of what they had seen and heard, and deliver the message both of the angel, and of Christ, unto them: behold, some of the watch came unto the city : that is, "of Jerusalem". The word "behold" is left out in the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; but ought... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:12

And when they were assembled with the elders ,.... Upon this the grand sanhedrim was convened together, which consisted of the chief priests, Scribes, and elders; and had taken counsel among themselves what steps to take to stifle this matter, that it might not spread and be believed by the people; they agreed upon this, as the best expedient, to bribe the soldiers to give a false account of it, as they did: they gave large money unto the soldiers , or "sufficient money"; they gave... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:13

Saying, say ye his disciples came by night ,.... They charged them to tell every one that should ask them about this affair; and even publish it every where, that the disciples of Christ came in the dead of the night, and stole him away while we slept : which was a very unlikely thing, and a foolish scheme this, for such a body of men to form. There is no show of probability in it, that the disciples, who were intimidated by the taking and putting Christ to death, and were now shut up in... read more

And if this come to the governor's ears ,.... Not the governor of the watch, but Pontius Pilate the governor of Judea: if this should be told him, and should be heard by him; or this matter should come before him, and be under his examination, and there should be any danger of punishment; for to sleep on the watch was severely punished by the Romans: we will, persuade him ; that this is the true state of the case, and intercede with him, and make use of all our interest, not to punish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:15

So they took the money, and did as they were taught ,.... Though they had been just now in the greatest fright and consternation imaginable, at the sight of the angel, and knew what was done; yet being men of no religion or conscience, were tempted with the money, and took it, and reported every where what had been put into their mouths by the chief priests and elders. And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews unto this day ; to the time that Matthew wrote this Gospel; which... read more

Then the eleven disciples ,.... For Judas was not only gone from them, but was dead; so that there were now but eleven of them: went away into Galilee : not directly, as soon as the women had delivered their message; for Christ appeared to them the same day at Jerusalem; and so he did at the same place that week; see John 20:19 , but some time, after this they went together into Galilee, according to Christ's direction both before and after his resurrection, Matthew 26:32 , into a... read more
