27:51 The veil was the thick curtain between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies (see Heb. 6:19; 9:3; 10:20). The fact that it was torn in two from top to bottom indicates that this was not an act of man. Jesus’ death opens the way to the presence of God and puts an end to the OT temple and sacrificial systems.

27:52, 53 Evidently the earthquake opened the tombs; and at the moment of Jesus’ death, the bodies of OT righteous saints were raised (see Is. 26:19). The act symbolizes Jesus’ victory over death. Following Jesus’ resurrection, these saints testified to His victory over death in the holy city.

27:54 Son of God: This confession of Jesus’ divinity by Gentile soldiers is a fitting climax to the Crucifixion narrative, in that preparation is made for the charge to evangelize “all the nations” (28:19).

27:57 See note on John 19:38, 39.

27:60 Rock tombs, common in that area, were normally closed by means of a large stone rolled into the mouth of the hollow.

27:62 The Day of Preparation was Friday. In visiting Pilate the next day the Jewish leaders violated their own rules concerning the Sabbath.

27:64 The presence of a Roman guard refutes the later assertion that Jesus’ disciples stole His body (28:11–15).

28:2 The stone was rolled away, not that Jesus might escape, but that witnesses might see the evidence of an empty tomb. See Luke 24:2–4 text and note.

28:10 Note the fulfillment of 26:32.

28:13 The deception was absurd. If the guards were asleep, how did they know what had happened? It is manifest that the opponents are not at all concerned with the truth of the event, but with the effect of a rumor upon the people (27:64).

28:17 Though some doubted, it is important to note that the church’s “Great Commission” is born in a context of worship.

28:18–20 See section 6 of Truth-In-Action through the Synoptics at the end of Luke.

28:18 The humiliated Servant is now the exalted Lord, having received the authority promised in Dan. 7:14.

28:19 While Jesus’ ministry had been to Israel (see 10:5, 6), proclamation of and adherence to His lordship is extended to all the nations through the Spirit-empowered ministry of His church (see text and note on Acts 1:7, 8). Disciples are to acknowledge openly their allegiance to Christ by the seal of water baptism, which is ministered under the authority of the entire godhead.

28:20 The content of the apostles’ future teaching will stem from what Jesus had commanded them. Jesus assures them of His constant presence as they go on their divinely commanded mission.
