Matthew 28:18-20

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 28:1-99

Matthew 28 VERSE Mat_28:1 of this chapter tells us that the two Marys who had watched His burial were back at the sepulchre immediately the sabbath day had ended. They came “as it was the dusk of the next day after the sabbath” (New Trans.). The day according to Jewish reckoning ended at sunset, and their devotion was such that directly the sabbath was over they were on the move and visited the grave. It is not easy to piece together the details given us by the four Evangelists to form a... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 28:11-20

the Great Commission, of the Risen Lord Matthew 28:11-20 What absurdity in this mendacious explanation! How could the soldiers know who stole the body, if they were asleep? Skeptics have to believe greater marvels than believers. Was it likely that Christ’s friends would have wished to unwind the clothes that covered that sacred body? Would His enemies have taken the time, or forfeited the rich shroud that Joseph’s love provided? Men will believe any lie rather than God’s truth, because... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 28:1-20

“He is not here, He is risen!" That, surely, is the sweetest music. How beautifully it crowns the King. His enemies have rejected Him, and have proved their malice by handing Him over to their common, their last, their most terrible enemy-Death. The King proves His Kingship by overcoming that enemy in His dying, and on this Easter morning, the first, stands on His own earth again, having grappled with and vanquished the great foe of the race. In verses Mat 28:8-20 we have a glimpse of the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 28:1-20

The Seven Miraculous Events Matthew 28:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The events centered around the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ were miraculous to say the least. One miracle generally calls for another miracle. In the Book of Matthew we find seven different miracles referred to. This great number of miracles leaves us without a shadow of a doubt as to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It would appear that the Lord created a Divine environment for the resurrection of Christ in... read more

Christ's Missionary Command as Seen in the Early Church Matthew 28:18-20 ; Mark 16:15-20 ; Luke 24:45-49 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As the time came for the Lord to leave, and to return to His Father, He pressed upon the disciples the great yearning's of His soul toward a world lost in sin; and then gave command that the Gospel should be preached to all the world. Let us, for a moment, as introductory to what shall follow, study the three records where this last command was given. 1. The command... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 28:20

THE PRESENCE OF THE RISEN LORD‘Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’ Matthew 28:20 I. The presence of Christ as our priest.—Christ is present with us as our Priest. In dark and troublesome days, when persecution and disaster threatened the infant Church, St. John saw Him in vision at Patmos. Clothed in the vesture of the priest of old He was seen moving amongst the lamps of the sanctuary to light, to feed, and to trim their flame. Christ is still with His Church as its... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 28:7-20

The Final Triumph (28:7-20). Following this remarkable experience of the women, we now come to the climax of the Gospel, the resurrection appearances and the giving of the Great Commission. The subsection commences with an appearance to the women disciples, (a reminder of God’s interest in the seemingly unimportant who are faithful in worship and service), goes on to deal with men’s vain attempts to deny the resurrection by falsehoods, and finalises in the appearance of Jesus to His disciples... read more
