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;

But go, tell His disciples and Peter
This phrase highlights the urgency and importance of the message. The instruction to "go" signifies immediate action, emphasizing the resurrection's pivotal role in Christian faith. The mention of "His disciples and Peter" is significant. Peter, having denied Jesus three times, is specifically named, indicating a message of forgiveness and restoration. This reflects the grace and mercy central to the Gospel. The inclusion of Peter also underscores his leadership role among the apostles, which is later evident in the Acts of the Apostles.

‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee.
Galilee is a region of great significance in Jesus' ministry, often referred to as "Galilee of the Gentiles" (Isaiah 9:1). It is where Jesus performed many miracles and teachings, and it symbolizes the outreach of the Gospel beyond Jewish boundaries. The phrase "going ahead of you" suggests Jesus' role as a shepherd leading His flock, a theme consistent with His teachings (John 10:11). This also fulfills Jesus' earlier prediction of His resurrection and meeting with the disciples in Galilee (Mark 14:28), demonstrating His foreknowledge and divine plan.

There you will see Him,
This promise of seeing Jesus in Galilee is a reassurance of His physical resurrection, countering any claims that His appearances were merely spiritual or visionary. The physicality of the resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian doctrine, affirming Jesus' victory over death and His divine nature. This encounter in Galilee would serve to strengthen the disciples' faith and prepare them for their mission to spread the Gospel.

just as He told you.’”
This phrase underscores the reliability and truth of Jesus' words. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus predicts His death and resurrection (Mark 8:31, 9:31, 10:34), and this fulfillment reinforces His prophetic authority. It serves as a reminder of the trustworthiness of Scripture and God's faithfulness to His promises. This assurance would have been crucial for the disciples as they faced persecution and spread the message of Christ's resurrection to the world.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The Angel

Teaching Points
The Importance of Galilee
Galilee is not just a geographical location but a symbol of new beginnings and fulfillment of prophecy. It reminds us that God often meets us in familiar places to reveal His plans.

Restoration and Forgiveness
Peter's specific mention highlights God's grace and forgiveness. Despite Peter's denial, Jesus seeks to restore him, teaching us about the power of redemption and second chances.

The Role of Women in the Resurrection Narrative
The women are the first to receive and share the news of the resurrection, emphasizing the value and role of women in God's kingdom.

Obedience to Divine Instruction
The disciples are instructed to go to Galilee, teaching us the importance of obedience to God's guidance, even when the path is not fully clear.

The Certainty of Jesus' Promises
Jesus had foretold His resurrection and meeting in Galilee, demonstrating that His words are trustworthy and reliable.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.
