This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Mat 28:9.[1228] Καὶ ἰδοὺ, and behold) An elegant expression, denoting something sudden and unforeseen.-ὁ Ἰησοῦς, κ.τ.λ., Jesus, etc.) The obedient receive a further revelation.-χαίρετε, all hail) A formula of frequent occurrence, which is employed by our Lord in a high and peculiar sense.-προσεκύνησαν Αὐτῷ, they worshipped Him) Before His passion, Jesus had been worshipped by strangers, rather than by His disciples.

[1228] The words immediately preceding, ὡς-μαθηταῖς αὐτού, are no doubt expressed in the Germ. Vers., but the margin of both the Greek Editions prefers their omission.-E. B.

A supports the Rec. Text, in reading at the beginning of Mat 28:4. ὡς δὲ ἐπορεύοντο ἀπαγγεῖλαι τοῖς μὰθηταῖς αὐτοῦ. But BD Vulg. abc Memph. Syr. reject the words, which seem to me to have originated from a transcriber’s accidental error in repeating the closing words of Mat 28:8-a class of errors of frequent occurrence.-ED.
