JESUS MEETS WITH THE DISCIPLES ON A MOUNTAIN IN GALILEE AND GIVES FORTH THE GREAT COMMISSION. (Mat 28:16-20)
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee--but certainly not before the second week after the resurrection, and probably somewhat later.
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them--It should have been rendered "the mountain," meaning some certain mountain which He had named to them--probably the night before He suffered, when He said, "After I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee" (Mat 26:32; Mar 14:28). What it was can only be conjectured; but of the two between which opinions are divided--the Mount of the Beatitudes or Mount Tabor--the former is much the more probable, from its nearness to the Sea of Tiberias, where last before this the Narrative tells us that He met and dined with seven of them. (Joh 21:1, &c.). That the interview here recorded was the same as that referred to in one
place only-- Co1 15:6 --when "He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remained unto that day, though some were fallen asleep," is now the opinion of the ablest students of the evangelical history. Nothing can account for such a number as five hundred assembling at one spot but the expectation of some promised manifestation of their risen Lord: and the promise before His resurrection, twice repeated after it, best explains this immense gathering. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Then the eleven disciples - Judas was dead, leaving but eleven of the original number of the apostles.
Into a mountain where Jesus lead appointed them - This "appointment" is recorded in Mat 26:32. On what particular mountain this was is not known. It is probable that Jesus, when he made the appointment, specified the place, which has been omitted by the evangelists. Matthew has omitted many appearances which Jesus made to his disciples which have been recorded by Luke, John, and Paul. See the harmony of the resurrection at the end of the chapter. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| To the mountain where Jesus had appointed them - This was probably Mount Tabor, where, (it is commonly supposed,) he had been before transfigured. It seems to have been here also, that he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Then the eleven disciples went - When the women went and told them that they had seen the Lord, and that he had promised to meet them in Galilee. From the eleventh to the fifteenth verse inclusive, should be read in a parenthesis, as the sixteenth verse is the continuation of the subject mentioned in the tenth. |
6 After that [1899], he was seen [3700] of above [1883] five hundred [4001] brethren [80] at once [2178]; of [1537] whom [3739] the greater part [4119] remain [3306] unto [2193] this present [737], but [1161] some [5100] [2532] are fallen asleep [2837].
1 After [3326] these things [5023] Jesus [2424] shewed [5319] himself [1438] again [3825] to the disciples [3101] at [1909] the sea [2281] of Tiberias [5085]; and [1161] on this wise [3779] shewed [5319] he himself.
28 But [235] after [3326] that I [3165] am risen [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056].

17 And [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they worshipped [4352] him [846]: but [1161] some doubted [1365].
18 And [2532] Jesus [2424] came [4334] and spake [2980] unto them [846], saying [3004], All [3956] power [1849] is given [1325] unto me [3427] in [1722] heaven [3772] and [2532] in [1909] earth [1093].
19 Go ye [4198] therefore [3767], and teach [3100] all [3956] nations [1484], baptizing [907] them [846] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Father [3962], and [2532] of the Son [5207], and [2532] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]:
20 Teaching [1321] them [846] to observe [5083] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] I have commanded [1781] you [5213]: and [2532], lo [2400], I [1473] am [1510] with [3326] you [5216] alway [3956] [2250], even unto [2193] the end [4930] of the world [165]. Amen [281].
32 But [1161] after [3326] I [3165] am risen again [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056].
