What does Matthew 26:32 mean?

Barnes' Notes
Verse 32. But after I am risen, etc. This promise was given them to encourage and support them, and also to give them an indication where he might be found. He did not mean that he would first appear to some of them, but that he would meet them all in Galilee. This was done. See Mk 16:7, Mt 28:16.

Galilee. Mt 2:22.

(f) "I will go before you" Mt 28:7,10,16

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 32 But after I am risen again - Don't lose your confidence; for though I shall appear for a time to be wholly left to wicked men, and be brought under the power of death, yet I will rise again, and triumph over all your enemies and mine. I will go before you - Still alluding to the case of the shepherd and his sheep. Though the shepherd has been smitten and the sheep scattered, the shepherd shall revive again, collect the scattered flock, and go before them, and lead them to peace, security, and happiness.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Matthew 26:31-35

Improper self-confidence, like that of Peter, is the first step to a fall. There is a proneness in all of us to be over-confident. But those fall soonest and foulest, who are the most confident in themselves. Those are least safe, who think themselves most secure. Satan is active to lead such astray; they are most off their guard: God leaves them to themselves, to humble them.
