6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him. 7But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’” 8So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.…

Mark 16
1. An Angel declares the resurrection of Jesus to three women.
9. Jesus himself appears to Mary Magdalene;
12. to two going into the country;
14. then to the apostles;
15. whom he sends forth to preach the gospel;
19. and ascends into heaven.














But go
The phrase "But go" signifies a call to action, a directive that breaks the silence and fear that had gripped the women at the tomb. In the Greek, the word for "go" is "hypagete," which is an imperative form, indicating urgency and importance. This command is not just a suggestion but a divine mandate, emphasizing the role of the women as the first messengers of the resurrection. Historically, this is significant because it highlights the counter-cultural role of women in the early Christian community, entrusted with the most crucial news in Christian history.

tell His disciples
underscores the importance of communication and the spread of the Gospel message. The Greek word "eipate" for "tell" is another imperative, reinforcing the necessity of sharing the good news. The disciples, who had scattered and were in hiding after Jesus' crucifixion, needed reassurance and hope. This instruction to inform them is a reminder of their continued role in Jesus' mission, despite their previous failures and doubts. It is a call to restore and renew their faith and commitment.

and Peter
is a poignant addition, highlighting the grace and forgiveness inherent in the resurrection message. Peter, who had denied Jesus three times, is singled out, indicating that despite his failings, he is still a vital part of Jesus' plan. The specific mention of Peter serves as a powerful reminder of redemption and the personal nature of Jesus' love and forgiveness. It reassures believers that no failure is too great to be overcome by the grace of God.

He is going ahead of you into Galilee
The phrase "He is going ahead of you" speaks to the leadership and guidance of the risen Christ. The Greek word "proagei" implies not just going ahead in a physical sense but also leading the way spiritually and missionally. Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, goes before His flock, preparing the path and ensuring their safety and success. This assurance would have been comforting to the disciples, who were grappling with fear and uncertainty.

into Galilee
is significant both geographically and theologically. Galilee was the region where Jesus began His ministry, performed many miracles, and taught the multitudes. It represents a return to the roots of His earthly mission and a place of new beginnings. For the disciples, Galilee would be a familiar and significant location, symbolizing the continuation of Jesus' work and the fulfillment of His promises. It is a reminder that the resurrection is not the end but the beginning of a new chapter in God's redemptive plan.

There you will see Him, just as He told you
The assurance "There you will see Him" is a promise of personal encounter and revelation. The Greek word "opsesthe" for "see" implies more than just physical sight; it suggests understanding and recognition. This promise is a source of hope and anticipation for the disciples, affirming that their relationship with Jesus will continue beyond the resurrection. It is a reminder that faith is not just about belief in the unseen but also about experiencing the presence of the risen Christ in tangible ways.

just as He told you
emphasizes the reliability and truth of Jesus' words. Throughout His ministry, Jesus had foretold His death and resurrection, and this phrase serves as a reminder of His faithfulness to His promises. It reassures the disciples that everything is unfolding according to God's sovereign plan. For believers, it is a call to trust in the promises of Scripture, knowing that God is faithful and His word is true. This phrase encourages a deeper faith and reliance on the certainty of God's promises.

Verse 7. - But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. St. Gregory ('Hom. in Evan.') says, "If the angel had not named Peter, he would not have dared to come amongst the disciples. Therefore he is specially named, lest he should despair on account of his denial." It was evidently intended as a special message of comfort to Peter. St. Luke (Luke 24:34) records the personal appearance of our Lord first to Peter. Here St. Mark, with characteristic modesty, keeps Peter in the background. In Mark 14:28 our Lord is recorded to have said, "After I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee." He would go before them as their Shepherd, and lead them to that part of the Holy Land which, as he had honored it before his resurrection, so he would honor it again now.
