Matthew 28:8

28:8 So ⁵  they left the tomb quickly, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

² tn Or “city.” But see the sn on “Gadarenes” in 8:28.

³ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

⁴ sn What you hear and see. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1. Jesus is answering not by acknowledging a title, but by pointing to the nature of his works, thus indicating the nature of the time.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s instructions to tell the disciples.
