Study note
Setting — An angel addresses the women at the tomb immediately after declaring Jesus risen and absent from the grave. The speaker commands them to deliver a specific location and meeting to Jesus’s disciples and to Peter.
The words — The imperative ὑπάγετε (hupagete) translates literally to "do go," and εἴπατε (eipate) means "do say." These verbs establish the urgent, direct transmission of the message.
The thread — The promise of Jesus going ahead to Galilee matches his earlier prediction in Mark 14:28 and Matthew 26:32. The instruction to inform the disciples parallels the commission recorded in Matthew 28:7.
Why it lands — The text explicitly orders the women to relay a message of restoration to a specific individual and the broader group. It requires readers to accept that the resurrection account demands immediate obedience and points toward a confirmed future encounter.
