But after I have risen
This phrase is a profound declaration of Jesus' resurrection, a cornerstone of Christian faith. The Greek word for "risen" is "ἐγείρω" (egeirō), which means to awaken or to raise up. This word is used throughout the New Testament to describe the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing the power of God to conquer death. Historically, the resurrection is the pivotal event that validates Jesus' divinity and the truth of His teachings. It assures believers of their own future resurrection and eternal life, as promised in Scripture. The phrase "after I have risen" also indicates Jesus' foreknowledge of His death and resurrection, underscoring His divine nature and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

I will go ahead of you
Here, Jesus is assuring His disciples of His leadership and guidance even after His resurrection. The Greek word "προάγω" (proagō) means to lead forward or to go before. This conveys the image of a shepherd leading his flock, a common biblical metaphor for Jesus' relationship with His followers. Historically, this promise would have provided immense comfort to the disciples, who were about to face the trauma of Jesus' crucifixion. It reassures them that Jesus will continue to lead and guide them, even in His physical absence. This phrase also implies a call to follow, encouraging believers to trust in Jesus' path and timing.

into Galilee
Galilee holds significant historical and theological importance in the Gospels. It is the region where Jesus began His ministry, performed many miracles, and delivered key teachings. By specifying Galilee, Jesus is directing His disciples back to the place where their journey with Him began, symbolizing a renewal of mission and purpose. Theologically, Galilee represents the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles, as it was a region with a diverse population. This foreshadows the Great Commission, where Jesus commands His disciples to spread His teachings to all nations. The mention of Galilee also fulfills Jesus' earlier predictions and aligns with the angel's message at the empty tomb, reinforcing the reliability of His words and promises.

(32) After I am risen.--Our Lord referred to these His words afterwards (Matthew 28:16), but they appear to have fallen at the time unheeded on the ears of the disciples, and to have been rapidly forgotten. No expectation of a resurrection is traceable in their after conduct.

Verse 32. - After I am risen again. He comforts his followers now, as always, with the announcement that after his Passion and death he would rise again and meet them. So in the prophet's words succeeding the quotation there is a similar encouragement, "I will turn mine hand upon the little ones;" i.e. I will cover and protect the humble and meek, even after they fled and were scattered. I will go before you (προάξω ὑμᾶς) into Galilee (Matthew 28:7). The verb is of pastoral signification, as in the East the shepherd does not drive his sheep, but leads them (John 10:4). The apostles, or many of them, after the Resurrection, returned to their old homes in Galilee, but Christ preceded them, and they found him there before them (Mark 16:7; John 21; Acts 1:3; 1 Corinthians 15:6). He again gathered around him his little flock lately scattered. True, he had then already appeared to them at Jerusalem more than once; but this was, as it were, fortuitously and unexpectedly. The meeting in Galilee was by appointment, and of most solemn import, Christ then reuniting the apostolic body, and renewing the apostolic commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
