Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 28:5-8

Mark saith, Mark 16:5-8, And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 28:1-10

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 28:1. In the end of the Sabbath.—Late on the Sabbath day (R.V.).—We must assume, with Meyer, Lange, and Alford, that Matthew here follows the natural division of the day from sunrise to sunrise, which seems to be favoured by the following definition of time: “As it began to dawn,” etc.… It is certain and agreed on all hands that Matthew means the time after the close of the Jewish Sabbath, the time before daybreak on the first day, of the week, or the Christian Sunday... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:6

Matthew 28:6 (with 1 Corinthians 15:44 ) The Resurrection from the Dead. We still assert, in words, a literal resurrection of the body, but none of us believe it. Our hymns, our prayers, our epitaphs, and too often our sermons, imply that the dust of our bodies shall be reanimated in some far-off future, and joined to the waiting soul. At the same time, we know that science declares it to be impossible; our reason revolts from it; it is sustained by no analogy; it is an outworn and nearly... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Matthew 28:6

DISCOURSE: 1414THE RESURRECTIONMatthew 28:6. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.AMIDST all the indignities offered to our blessed Lord by the Jewish nation at large, some friends there were who sympathized with him, and desired to manifest towards him all the respect and love which their circumstances would admit of. He had now been put to death, and was committed to the tomb without any of those distinctions which were customarily attendant on an honourable interment. Some women,... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Matthew 28:6

The Tomb of Jesus April 8, 1855 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Matthew 28:6 . Every circumstance connected with the life of Christ is deeply interesting to the Christian mind. Wherever we behold our Saviour, he is well worthy of our notice. "His cross, his manger, and his crown, Are big with glories yet unknown." All his weary pilgrimage, from Bethlehem's manger to Calvary's cross, is, in our eyes, paved with glory. Each spot upon which he trod is,... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 28:6-7

Matthew 28:6-7He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. The open sepulchre a seal of redemptionI. The place which the angel bade the women come and see was an open, empty tomb. Earth is the place of tombs. There is no tomb in heaven; no silent grave in hell. Every grave of earth will yet be empty.II. Momentous truths were uttered from the open, empty tomb where the Lord had lain.1. The first voice proclaims the evil and the power of sin. Sin dug for Death all his graves. Sin has slain the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 28:6

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Ver. 6. He is not here ] q.d. You are much mistaken, and deserve to be chided for your not crediting, or at least your not remembering, that he foretold you of his resurrection. All which notwithstanding, come see the place, &c., q.d. believe your own eyes at least. Hilaris est haec et plena gaudio invitatio, saith an interpreter. What marvel then though they departed with fear for their... read more
