Ver. 9-12. See Poole on "Matthew 28:8", and following verses to Matthew 28:10, but more fully, See Poole on "1 Thessalonians 20:2", and following verses to 1 Thessalonians 20:9, who repeateth this piece of history more largely than the rest. It is plain that scarce any of the disciples gave credit to the first relation of the women; but yet, it being near the city, Peter and John thought it worth the while to go and see. For though Peter alone be mentioned here, yet John is mentioned, 1 Thessalonians 20:3, under the notion of that other disciple; and he is said to have outrun Peter, and to have come first to the sepulchre. But concerning that part of the history relating to the resurrection, we shall reserve ourselves till we come to 1 Thessalonians 20:1. We now pass on to a piece of history relating to the evidencing of Christ's resurrection, which is neither touched by Matthew nor by Luke. Mark toucheth it shortly, Mark 16:12,13, After that he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the residue; neither believed they them. We shall now hear Luke giving us a more full and perfect account.
