This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
28. ἀλλά. Mt. has δέ, which does not mark so clearly the contrast between the sad scattering of the flock through the death of the Shepherd and its happy reunion through His Resurrection; After I am raised up.
προάξω. The verb suggests another contrast; between His going before them to Jerusalem to suffer and die (Mar 10:32) and His going before them to a meeting place in the chief scene of their life with Him. This prediction of a meeting in Galilee is required to explain Mar 16:7 and Mat 28:6, and we may be sure that it was uttered. As usual (Mar 8:31, Mar 9:31, Mar 10:34), Christ adds to the prediction of His death the comforting promise of rising again; but it seems to have made little impression on the Apostles until after its fulfilment. Even then they derived little comfort from it until He appeared to them. That they believed that He had appeared to them because they were so convinced that He would rise again is against all the evidence that we possess.
