THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 28 - Verse 7
Verse 7. Tell his disciples. Mark adds particularly, tell "Peter." This was a kind message to Peter, who had so recently denied his Lord. It would serve to cheer him in his despondency, and to assure him that his sin had been forgiven; and it shows the tender love and remembrance of Jesus -- even for his unfaithful friends.
