Matthew 28:1-2 BSB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

The Resurrection. I. THE ANGEL AT THE SEPULCHRE . 1 . The holy women. The great sabbath was over. It had been a busy day in the temple; all had been done as usual. The priests little thought, while performing their elaborate ritual, that the one great Sacrifice, Oblation, and Satisfaction for the sins of the whole world, the Sacrifice of which all their sacrifices were but figures, had been offered up on Calvary. Yet the great darkness and the portents which had marked the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

Lessons of the Resurrection. The four evangelists concur in setting forth the three successive steps in the evidence by which our Lord's incredulous followers were at length persuaded of the reality of his resurrection. These are: 1 . The fact of the sepulchre being found empty. 2 . The testimony of the angels who were seen in it. 3 . The appearances of our Lord himself. On these points we shall not now particularly dwell, but direct attention to certain side lights which the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:2

And, behold. A wonderful sight met their eyes. The following event took place before their arrival; they saw only the result. No mortal eye beheld, and no pen has recorded, the actual issuing of the Lord from the closed tomb. There was a great earthquake. St. Matthew does not attempt to give the exact sequence of events. Probably the shock, caused by the sudden advent and action of the angel, befell as the women were approaching the cemetery. Christ had risen before this occurrence,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:2

Angel ministries. Concerning the nature or the location of angels we do know, probably we can know, nothing. When they have come into the earthly spheres they have always appeared to be men like ourselves; their peculiarity has not been their wings, but their purity and radiancy. But one thing does come out quite clearly and impressively from every case of angel visitation. They are always ministers, engaged in some form of ministering. Whatever dignity we may think to belong to the angels,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:1

In the end of the sabbath - The word “end” here means the same as “after” the Sabbath - that is, after the Sabbath was fully completed or finished, and may be expressed in this manner: “In the night following the Sabbath, for the Sabbath closed at sunset, as it began to dawn,” etc.As it began to dawn toward the first day of the week - The word “dawn” is not of necessity in the original. The word there properly means as the first day “approached,” or drew on, without specifying the precise time.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:2

There was a great earthquake - Rather there “had been.” It does not mean that this was while they were there, or while they were going, but that there “had been” so violent a commotion as to remove the stone. The word rendered here as “earthquake” does not of necessity mean that the convulsion extended to the earth, but only that there had been such a concussion as to remove the stone.And sat upon it - Sat upon it when the keepers saw him, Matthew 28:4. It is not said that he was sitting when... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:1

Matthew 28:1. In the end of the sabbath Or rather, After the sabbath, as οψε σαββατων may be properly translated. Thus, in Philostratus, οψε των Τρωικων signifies, after the Trojan war; οψε μυστηριων , after the mysteries were ended. And in other authors, οψε τουτων is, after these things; οψε νυκτος , after night; see many examples of this in Stephanus. And so this perfectly agrees with the other evangelists, who say what is here related was done when the sabbath was ended, Mark... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 28:2

Matthew 28:2. And behold, there was a great earthquake While the women were making these preparations for embalming the body of Jesus, he arose from the dead; his resurrection being preceded by the descent of an angel, whose appearance at the sepulchre was ushered in with a great earthquake and probably also a storm, the word σεισμος , here rendered earthquake, signifying any shaking, whether in the earth, air, or sea. Thus, chap. Matthew 8:24, σεισμος μεγας εν τη θαλλασση , is rightly... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:1-15

RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION161. Morning of the resurrection (Matthew 28:1-15; Mark 16:1-11; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18)It is not surprising that there are differences in the accounts of what people saw on the Sunday morning when Jesus rose from the dead. The sight of the empty tomb and the heavenly messengers produced a mixture of reactions - excitement, joy, anxiety, fear, wonder. There was confusion as people rushed here and there to tell others. One writer records what he heard from some,... read more
