But after I have risen
This phrase refers to Jesus' prediction of His resurrection, a central tenet of Christian faith. The resurrection is prophesied in the Old Testament, such as in Psalm 16:10 and Isaiah 53:10-11, and is fulfilled in the New Testament accounts. Jesus' resurrection is a pivotal event that confirms His divinity and the truth of His teachings. It also signifies victory over sin and death, offering hope of eternal life to believers. The phrase underscores Jesus' foreknowledge and control over the events of His death and resurrection.

I will go ahead of you
Here, Jesus assures His disciples that He will precede them, indicating leadership and guidance. This reflects the role of a shepherd leading his flock, a common biblical metaphor for God's relationship with His people (Psalm 23, John 10:11-14). It also implies a restoration of relationship and mission after the scattering of the disciples, which Jesus predicts in Matthew 26:31. This promise of going ahead is a reassurance of His continued presence and leadership even after His resurrection.

into Galilee.
Galilee is significant as the region where Jesus began His ministry and performed many miracles. It is a place of familiarity and comfort for the disciples, many of whom were from Galilee. This return to Galilee symbolizes a new beginning and the continuation of Jesus' mission. It is also a fulfillment of Jesus' earlier instructions and prophecies (Matthew 28:7, 10, 16). Galilee, being a region with a mix of Jewish and Gentile populations, foreshadows the spread of the Gospel to all nations.

Teaching Points
The Certainty of Jesus' Resurrection
Jesus speaks with confidence about His resurrection, which is foundational to Christian faith. Believers can trust in the certainty of His promises.

The Importance of Galilee
Galilee represents a place of restoration and new beginnings. It is where Jesus first called His disciples and where He will reaffirm their mission.

Preparation for Trials
Jesus prepares His disciples for the coming trials by assuring them of His resurrection and future presence. Believers should find comfort in Jesus' foreknowledge and provision.

The Role of Obedience
The disciples are instructed to go to Galilee, demonstrating the importance of obedience to Jesus' commands. Believers are called to follow His guidance even when the path is unclear.

Hope in Times of Uncertainty
Jesus' promise to meet His disciples after His resurrection offers hope and assurance. In times of uncertainty, believers can rely on Jesus' presence and promises.(32) After I am risen.--Our Lord referred to these His words afterwards (Matthew 28:16), but they appear to have fallen at the time unheeded on the ears of the disciples, and to have been rapidly forgotten. No expectation of a resurrection is traceable in their after conduct.

Verse 32. - After I am risen again. He comforts his followers now, as always, with the announcement that after his Passion and death he would rise again and meet them. So in the prophet's words succeeding the quotation there is a similar encouragement, "I will turn mine hand upon the little ones;" i.e. I will cover and protect the humble and meek, even after they fled and were scattered. I will go before you (προάξω ὑμᾶς) into Galilee (Matthew 28:7). The verb is of pastoral signification, as in the East the shepherd does not drive his sheep, but leads them (John 10:4). The apostles, or many of them, after the Resurrection, returned to their old homes in Galilee, but Christ preceded them, and they found him there before them (Mark 16:7; John 21; Acts 1:3; 1 Corinthians 15:6). He again gathered around him his little flock lately scattered. True, he had then already appeared to them at Jerusalem more than once; but this was, as it were, fortuitously and unexpectedly. The meeting in Galilee was by appointment, and of most solemn import, Christ then reuniting the apostolic body, and renewing the apostolic commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
