Matthew 28:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 28:1

He Is Risen

1 Now ^aafter the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene ^band the other Mary came to see the tomb.

2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for ^aan angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone¹ from the door, and sat on it.

3 ^aHis countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like ^adead men.

5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

6 He is not here; for He is risen, ^aas He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed ^aHe is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”

8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord

9 And¹ as they went to tell His disciples, behold, ^aJesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
