About the passage
Matthew 28: The sealed ending opens onto all nations
Matthew 28 begins where the previous chapter tried hardest to close the matter: at a sealed tomb under guard. The women return, an earthquake accompanies the angel’s descent, the stone is rolled away, and the keepers become “as dead men.” The empty place is not left unexplained. The women are told that the crucified Jesus is risen “as he said,” then they meet Jesus himself, take hold of his feet, worship, and carry his summons to the disciples. At the same time, some guards carry another report to the leaders, who answer it with money and a rehearsed account of theft. The book finally gathers the eleven in Galilee. Worship and doubt remain in the same company, yet the commission rests on Jesus’ authority rather than their perfection. The Gospel closes by expanding from Israel toward all nations and by returning to its opening Emmanuel theme in Jesus’ promise to remain with them.
