Mat 28:15. Διεφημίσθη, has been commonly reported) There are many things of this kind by which the wretched Jews keep themselves in error.[1230]
[1230] And how signal are the injuries which are subsequently given birth to by even a single false representation!-V. g.
Mat 28:16. εἰς τὴν Γαλιλάιαν, into Galilee) This very appearance was the most solemn of all, being the one which the Lord had promised before His passion. And it is not without good reason that it is held to be the same one as that at which “more than 500 brethren” were present “at once,” 1Co 15:6. For the Lord appeared to Paul after His ascension: but the rest of the Apostles (1Co 15:7) had not at that time need any more, as Paul had, of such a vision. No doubt at Jerusalem, after the ascension, only 120 disciples are reckoned (Act 1:15). But Galilee contained far more disciples than that number.-Harm., p. 611.
