What does Matthew 28:7 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples--For a precious addition to this, see on Mr 16:7. that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee--to which those women belonged (Mt 27:55). there shall ye see him--This must refer to those more public manifestations of Himself to large numbers of disciples at once, which He vouchsafed only in Galilee; for individually He was seen of some of those very women almost immediately after this (Mt 28:9, 10). Lo, I have told you--Behold, ye have this word from the world of light!

Barnes' Notes

Verse 7. Tell his disciples. Mark adds particularly, tell "Peter." This was a kind message to Peter, who had so recently denied his Lord. It would serve to cheer him in his despondency, and to assure him that his sin had been forgiven; and it shows the tender love and remembrance of Jesus--even for his unfaithful friends.

Verse 7 Go quickly and tell his disciples - Thus these faithful women proclaim the Gospel to those who were afterwards to be the teachers of the whole human race!

Judah Hakkodesh, which some critics quote on this subject: "After Three Days the Soul of the Messiah shall Return to its body, and he shall Go Out of that Stone in which he shall be Buried." Goeth before you into Galilee - As himself promised, Mat 26:32.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Matthew 28:1-8

Christ rose the third day after his death; that was the time he had often spoken of. On the first day of the first week God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. On this day did He who is the Light of the world, shine out of the darkness of the grave; and this day is from henceforward often mentioned in the New Testament, as the day which Christians religiously observed in solemn assemblies, to the honour of…
