Berean Study Bible

Then go quickly
The phrase "Then go quickly" is a directive given by the angel to the women at the tomb. The Greek word for "quickly" is "ταχέως" (tacheōs), which implies urgency and immediacy. This urgency reflects the importance of the message they are to deliver. In the context of the resurrection, the speed of their action symbolizes the transformative power of the resurrection, which demands a swift response. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that required immediate dissemination, as it was the cornerstone of the Christian faith.

and tell His disciples
The instruction to "tell His disciples" underscores the role of the women as the first evangelists of the resurrection. The Greek word for "tell" is "εἴπατε" (eipate), which means to announce or proclaim. This highlights the importance of verbal testimony in the spread of the Gospel. The disciples, who were in hiding and in despair after the crucifixion, needed this message of hope and victory. This directive also emphasizes the inclusivity of the Gospel message, as women were chosen to be the first to share the news, challenging the cultural norms of the time.

He has risen from the dead
This phrase is the core of the Christian message. The Greek word for "risen" is "ἠγέρθη" (ēgerthē), which is in the passive voice, indicating that Jesus was raised by the power of God. This resurrection is not just a return to life but a victory over death itself, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies and Jesus' own predictions. The resurrection is the validation of Jesus' divine nature and the assurance of eternal life for believers. Historically, this event transformed the disciples from a group of frightened followers into bold proclaimers of the Gospel.

and is going ahead of you into Galilee
The phrase "is going ahead of you into Galilee" indicates Jesus' leadership and the fulfillment of His promise to meet His disciples there. Galilee, being the region where Jesus began His ministry, symbolizes a return to the roots of His mission and a new beginning for the disciples. The Greek word "προάγει" (proagei) means to lead or go before, suggesting that Jesus is the shepherd leading His flock. This also serves as a reassurance to the disciples that Jesus is alive and actively guiding them.

There you will see Him
The promise "There you will see Him" offers hope and assurance to the disciples. The Greek word for "see" is "ὄψεσθε" (opsesthe), which implies not just physical sight but also understanding and recognition. This encounter in Galilee would be a moment of revelation and confirmation of Jesus' teachings and promises. It signifies the personal relationship that Jesus offers to His followers, as they will see Him not just as a resurrected figure but as their Lord and Savior.

as He has told you
The phrase "as He has told you" serves as a reminder of Jesus' faithfulness and the reliability of His words. The Greek word "εἶπον" (eipon) is used here, which means to say or speak. This emphasizes that Jesus had previously foretold His resurrection and meeting in Galilee, reinforcing the trustworthiness of His promises. It also serves as a call to remember and trust in Jesus' words, encouraging believers to hold fast to His teachings and prophecies. This assurance is foundational for the faith of the disciples and for all Christians who follow.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(7) He goeth before you into Galilee.--The words seem to point to a meeting in Galilee as the first appearance of the risen Lord to His disciples, and St. Matthew records no other. No adequate explanation can be given of the omission of what the other Gospels report, if we assume the whole Gospel to have been written by the Apostle Matthew. On the hypothesis that it is a "Gospel according to Matthew," representing the substance of his oral teaching, the absence of this or that fact which we should have expected him to record may have been due to some idiosyncrasy in the scribe, or, so to speak, editor of the Gospel. It is possible that if the disciples had believed the report brought by the women the mountain in Galilee would have been the scene of the first meeting between them and their Master; but they did not believe, and required the evidence which He in His compassion gave them, in order to quicken their faith and lead them to obey the command thus given.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - Go quickly, and tell his disciples. St. Mark significantly adds, "and Peter." The disciples were to believe without seeing. They had deserted Christ in his hour of need, had not stood by the cross, nor aided in his burial; so they were not to be honoured with the vision of angels or the first sight of the risen Lord. This was reserved for the faithful women, who thus received their mission to carry a message to the messengers - a foretaste of the ministry which they should perform in the Church of Christ. He goeth before you (προάγει ὑμᾶς) into Galilee. The verb is noticeable. It is that used by our Lord himself on his way to the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:32), and it implies the act of a shepherd at the head of his flock, leading them to new pastures (comp. John 10:4). The good Shepherd had been smitten, and the sheep scattered; now under his guidance they were to be reunited. The apostolic band had been temporarily dissolved and disintegrated; the college was again to be reformed, and was to receive its renewed commission in seclusion and peace, that it might return to Jerusalem with unimpaired strength to commence its arduous labours. The place of meeting is in Galilee, where most of his mighty works were done, and where it was safer for the disciples to assemble than at Jerusalem. The majority of them came from this region, and thither they returned some ten days (John 20:26; John 21:1-4) after the Resurrection, to resume their ordinary occupations (ver. 16). Thus they would realize that it was the same Jesus who met them there with whom, these three past years, they had held familiar intercourse. It was ordained, for some reason not expressly stated, that from Galilee should proceed Christ's spiritual kingdom which he came to establish - that "word which," as Peter said (Acts 10:37), "was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee." We read of only two appearances of Christ in Galilee - once at the lake, mentioned in the last chapter of St. John, and again in ver. 17 of this chapter of St. Matthew. It is, however, possible that the appearance named by St. Paul (1 Corinthians 15:6), when he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at one time, may have occurred in Galilee. If this is the case, it would be remarkable as the only public revelation of Christ after his resurrection, and the comparative seclusion of the northern district may have been one reason for its selection as the scene for this great demonstration. There was doubtless some moral fitness in the humble and despised Galilee being made the starting point of his Church who was despised and rejected of men whom it was contemptuously said, "Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?" (John 7:41). "As in all things God sets at naught the pride of mankind, and chooses persons, instruments, and places mean in the eves of the world, teaching us that in humbler and more retired abodes, secret from the world, we are to seek for the strength of God, who hideth himself" (I. Williams). Lo, I have told you. The angel thus solemnly confirms what he had just said. The Authorized Vulgate gives, Ecce, praedixi vobis, which is warranted by no existing Greek manuscripts, the uniform reading of the original being εϊπον or εϊμα
