This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 28:18. Προσελθὼν, having come unto) And by that very circumstance, producing faith even in those who doubted.-αὐτοῖς, to them) i.e. addressing them.-ἐδόθη Μοι, has been to Me) especially to Me, risen and ascending. This passage contains the sum of those things which the Lord declared afterwards more fully in the Apocalypse, concerning His possession of all authority, and His presence with His own; see Rev 1:18; Rev 1:13.-πᾶσα, κ.τ.λ., all, etc.) This is the reason why Jesus sends His disciples into all the world, and why the whole world ought to worship Him, and why He institutes baptism;[1231] see Ephesians cited below.-ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς, in heaven and on earth) see ch. Mat 9:16, Mat 16:1. Hitherto He had been on earth, now He ascends to heaven: He fills all things; see Eph 4:10, with the, preceding and following verses.
[1231] For the salvation of men, to be converted on earth, and conducted to heaven.-B. G. V.
