Galilee – Matthew
28:16 –
16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain
where Jesus had appointed them. (KJV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain
where Jesus had told them to go. (NIV)
14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. (KJV)
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he
rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe
those who had seen him after he had risen. (NIV)
33And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found
the eleven gathered together , and them that were with them,34Saying ,
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.35And they told
what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.36And
as they thus spake , Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you.37But they were terrified and affrighted , and supposed
that they had seen a spirit. (KJV)
33 They got up and returned at once to
Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34
and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared
to Simon."35 Then the two told what had happened on
the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself
stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."37 They
were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. (NIV)
19Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut
where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came
Jesus and stood
in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be
unto you. (KJV)
19 On the evening of that first day of the
week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the
Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" (NIV)
Back in Matthew 28:10, Jesus tells the
women who went to his tomb to instruct his disciples to go to Galilee. He does not, however, specify where in
Galilee. Galilee is a very mountainous,
northern region in Israel, so there was any number of mountains to choose from. Verse 16 states they went to the mountain on
which Jesus told them to meet him. Knowing
this, it seems very likely that Jesus had already appeared to these disciples
at least once and disclosed the location of their meeting place.
This begs the question: why is Matthew's account different than the others'? My theory is he just chose to leave out some details. After all, he was a tax man, not a journalist.
