There were several others besides the two named here, who visited the sepulchre. ([Luke 24:10](../../../kjv/luke/24/10).) They went to anoint the body. They had never understood the predictions which the Savior had uttered respecting his resurrection. **Verse 2** *There was;* that is, there was before they came; for the [Mark 16:4](../../../kjv/mark/16/4); [Luke 24:2](../../../kjv/luke/24/2); [John 20:1](../../../kjv/john/20/1) say that they found the stone rolled away. **Verse 4** *The keepers;* the watch mentioned [Matthew 27:66](../../../kjv/matthew/27/66). **Verse 6** *The Lord.* This form of expression seems to imply that the angels recognized Jesus as *their* Lord, as well as the Lord of the disciples. **Verse 8** There is a very remarkable diversity in the accounts given by the several evangelists of the circumstances attending the announcement to the disciples if the Savior's resurrection--a diversity extremely perplexing to those who cannot trust the sacred writers any further than they can scrutinize and prove their testimony. (Compare [Mark 16:1-8](../../../kjv/mark/16/1-8). [Luke 24:1-12](../../../kjv/luke/24/1-12). John 20:1-18.) Many ingenious attempts have been made to harmonize these accounts, and to combine them, by means of conjectural emendations and additions, into one self-consistent narrative. The results, however, afford the mind but little satisfaction. Unbelief does not feel itself answered by them, and is not silenced; and faith, having other ground to rest upon, which is of the most solid character, prefers, in regard to such difficulties, to wait for *future* and complete solutions, rather than to rely upon explanations that are, after all, forced and unsatisfactory. See note on [John 20:18](../../../kjv/john/20/18). **Verse 14** *The governors;* Pilate's. **Verse 16** *Into Galilee.* Jesus had several other interviews with his disciples, both in Galilee and in the vicinity of Jerusalem, as is related by the other evangelists.--*Into a mountain;* into a secluded place among the mountains. **Verse 17** *Some doubted.* Thomas was one who doubted. He was uncertain whether it was really Jesus in bodily presence, or an apparition. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Abbott's Illustrated New Testament - Matthew 28"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28","name":"Abbott's Illustrated New Testament - Matthew 28","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Verse 1 As it began to dawn; that is, as it was growing light, for Mark 16:2 says that it was about sunrise;--unless, in fact, there were two several part","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","name":"Commentaries"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament","name":"Abbott's Illustrated New Testament"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew","name":"Matthew"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/abbotts-illustrated-new-testament/matthew/28","name":"28"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
