that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee--to which those women belonged (Mat 27:55).
there shall ye see him--This must refer to those more public manifestations of Himself to large numbers of disciples at once, which He vouchsafed only in Galilee; for individually He was seen of some of those very women almost immediately after this (Mat 28:9-10).
Lo, I have told you--Behold, ye have this word from the world of light! |

| Tell his disciples - Mark adds particularly, "tell Peter." This was a kind message to Peter, who had so recently denied his Lord. It would serve to cheer him in his despondency, and to assure him that his sin had been forgiven; and it shows the tender love and remembrance of Jesus, even for his unfaithful friends. |
