Matthew 28
Verse 1. Mark xvi, 1; Luke xxiv, 1; John xx, 1.
Verse
2. An angel of the Lord had rolled away the stone and sat upon it -
St. Luke and St. John speak of two angels that appeared: but it
seems as if only one of them had appeared sitting on the stone
without the sepulchre, and then going into it, was seen with
another angel, sitting, one where the head, the other where the feet
of the body had lain.
Verse
6. Come, see the place where the Lord lay - Probably in speaking
he rose up, and going before the women into the sepulchre, said,
Come, see the place. This clearly reconciles what St. John relates,
John xx, 12, this being one of the two angels there mentioned.
Verse
7. There shall ye see him - In his solemn appearance to them all
together. But their gracious Lord would not be absent so long: he
appeared to them several times before then. Lo, I have told you -
A solemn confirmation of what he had said.
Verse
9. Hail - The word in its primary sense means, "Rejoice:" in its
secondary and more usual meaning, "Happiness attend you."
Verse
10. Go tell my brethren - I still own them as such, though they so
lately disowned and forsook me.
Verse
13. Say, his disciples came by night, and stole him while we slept
- Is it possible, that any man of sense should digest this poor,
shallow inconsistency? If ye were awake, why did you let the
disciples steal him? If asleep, how do you know they did?
Verse
16. To the mountain where Jesus had appointed them - This was
probably Mount Tabor, where, (it is commonly supposed, ) he had
been before transfigured. It seems to have been here also, that he
appeared to above five hundred brethren at once.
Verse
18. All power is given to me - Even as man. As God, he had all
power from eternity.
Verse
19. Disciple all nations - Make them my disciples. This includes
the whole design of Christ's commission. Baptizing and teaching
are the two great branches of that general design. And these were
to be determined by the circumstances of things; which made it
necessary in baptizing adult Jews or heathens, to teach them
before they were baptized; in discipling their children, to baptize
them before they were taught; as the Jewish children in all ages
were first circumcised, and after taught to do all God had
commanded them. Mark xvi, 15.
