And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; What a mixture, fear and joy! But notice that the fear was not great, and the joy was: “Fear and great joy.” Observe the proportions of the mixture; and if tonight you have some fear, yet I hope you will have great joy; and then the bitterness of the fear will pass away. A holy...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. He would not let Mary Magdalene do that when they were alone, but he said to her, “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: it is more needful for you to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; That seems a strange mixture: “fear and great joy.” Yet there was plenty of reason for both emotions. Who would not fear that had felt an earthquake, and seen an angel, and marked the tomb broken open? Yet who would not rejoice that had had such a cheering message, and such an...

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,— Happy are the ministers who meet their Lord when they are going up the pulpit stairs; blessed are the teachers who meet Jesus when they are going to the class.

Then said Jesus unto them, As he saw their palpitating hearts, and perceived that they were still all in a flurry, for the angel had not dispelled their fears, Mat_28:10. Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. The angel talked of “disciples”; Christ talks of “brethren.” He always has the sweeter...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Note how Jesus dwells upon this despised district of Galilee; I should like to dwell upon it, too. He said nothing about classic Corinth, or imperial Rome, or proud Jerusalem; but his message is,” Tell my brethren that they go into...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. While good people were active, bad people were active, too.

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, They ought at once to have repented when the watch came, and told them that Jesus was risen. Ought they not to have gone, and fallen at his feet, and begged for mercy? But instead of that Mat_28:12. They gave large money unto the soldiers, Money, wherever it comes in, seems to do...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. If they were asleep, how did they know what happened? How could they know it if they were asleep? Evidence which is borne by men who were asleep at the time is evidently not worth regarding; but when you have to tell a lie, I suppose that, as any stick is good enough...

And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

Oh, the depraving and...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. You may start a lie, but you cannot stop it; there is no telling how long it will live. Let us never teach even the least error to a little child, for it may live on and become a great heresy long after we are dead. There is scarcely any limit to its life and to its power.

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. Away from the haunts of men, where he had been wont to be, in a country familiar to them, and with which he was familiar, in a despised country, “Galilee of the Gentiles.”

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: Probably this was the occasion referred to by Paul, when the risen Saviour “was seen of above five hundred brethren at once.” Mat_28:17. But some doubted.
