Matthew 28:7
Tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead. To woman it was
first announced that the birth of the child whose name should be Jesus,
"because he should save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21) was
near; women were the last of his disciples to linger at the cross or to
watch at the sepulcher; they were the first to see the empty tomb, to
hear the glad news, or to be sent to tell the story of their risen
Lord.
He goeth before you into Galilee. They are cited to Galilee to
meet the Lord, not that his only appearance would be there, for that
was the seventh, but because, in that country, where the largest number
of his disciples lived, he proposed to reveal himself to the whole body
of saints. There he was seen "by about five hundred brethren at once"
(1 Corinthians 15:6).
