Matthew 28:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ver. 16,17. The other evangelists mention several other appearances of Christ, which we shall consider when we come to them. This was in Galilee, upon Christ's appointment either before or after his resurrection, we cannot certainly say when, or how. Some think (upon what grounds I know not, but because the evangelists mention no more) that this was the famous appearance mentioned by the apostles, when he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once, 1 Corinthians 15:6. The text speaks but of eleven that went into Galilee; it is possible more might meet him there, but we have no guidance of Scripture to conclude it. Some worshipped him; but some doubted: Thomas we know did so, so might others: but some think that it had been better translated, some had doubted; I understand no sufficient reason for it, for it is not certain that this was after his other appearances mentioned by the other evangelists.

Matthew 28:17

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
