Study note
Setting — Jesus addresses the twelve disciples during the Passover meal, immediately after predicting their desertion and quoting the scripture about the struck shepherd.
The words — προάξω (proaxō) literally means "I will go before" or "I will go ahead of," denoting a forward movement that precedes the disciples.
The thread — This directive resurfaces in Matthew 28:7, Matthew 28:16, and Mark 16:7, where the risen Christ confirms the Galilee meeting point.
Why it lands — The text states a future meeting in Galilee after the resurrection, requiring the reader to expect restoration that follows the predicted scattering and to obey the specific location.
