This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_28:9. On seeing the strange and superhuman appearance presented by the risen Lord, the women are so filled with consternation ( μὴ φοβεῖσθε , Mat_28:10) that they take hold of His feet in a suppliant attitude ( ἐκράτ . αὐτοῦ τ . πόδας ), and testify their submission and reverence by the act of προσκύνησις . Bengel says correctly: “Jesum ante passionem alii potius alieniores adorarunt quam discipuli.”
