Mattheüs 28:8 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 28:8

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre
Or "they went out from it", as it may be rendered, and as it is in ( Mark 16:8 ) , which shows, that they went into the sepulchre upon the invitation of the angel, and saw the place where the Lord lay; and here it was the angel gave them their instructions, and errand to the disciples; which as soon as they received, they quitted the sepulchre in all haste, partly in obedience to the angel's orders, and partly through surprise and fear; for Mark says, "they fled from the sepulchre", ( Mark 16:8 ) , as persons terrified and affrighted: and it is added here,

with fear and great joy:
a mixture of both these; with fear and dread, because of the vision they had seen, and with joy at the news of Christ's resurrection; and yet in this their faith might not be so confirmed, as to have no doubt about it: they might fear the body was taken away, and removed to some other place, and that this they had seen might be a deception and a delusion. However, between both joy and fear, they set out,

and did run to bring his disciples word;
as Mary Magdalene ran to Peter, ( John 20:2 ) , nor is running unusual for women, or unbecoming them on certain occasions; see ( Genesis 24:20 Genesis 24:28 ) ( 29:12 ) . Their fright, as well as their joy, and their regard to the angel's order, might cause them to run, and make the quicker dispatch.

6 Hij is hier niet; want Hij is opgestaan, gelijk Hij gezegd heeft. Komt herwaarts, ziet de plaats, waar de Heere gelegen heeft.
7 En gaat haastelijk heen, en zegt Zijn discipelen, dat Hij opgestaan is van de doden; en ziet, Hij gaat u voor naar Galilea, daar zult gij Hem zien. Ziet, ik heb het ulieden gezegd.
8 En haastelijk uitgaande van het graf, met vreze en grote blijdschap, liepen zij heen, om hetzelve Zijn discipelen te boodschappen.
9 En als zij heengingen, om Zijn discipelen te boodschappen, ziet, Jezus is haar ontmoet, zeggende: Weest gegroet! En zij, tot Hem komende, grepen Zijn voeten, en aanbaden Hem.
10 Toen zeide Jezus tot haar: Vreest niet; gaat henen, boodschapt Mijn broederen, dat zij heengaan naar Galilea, en aldaar zullen zij Mij zien.
