Commentary on Matthew (420)

(Verse 16, 17.) However, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. After the resurrection, Jesus is seen on a mountain in Galilee and is worshipped there; although some doubt, their doubt strengthens our faith. Then he shows himself more clearly to Thomas and shows him the wound in his side from the spear and the nails in his hands.

To the mountain where Jesus had appointed them - This was probably Mount Tabor, where, (it is commonly supposed) he had been before transfigured. It seems to have been here also, that he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Then the eleven disciples went - When the women went and told them that they had seen the Lord, and that he had promised to meet them in Galilee. From the eleventh to the fifteenth verse inclusive, should be read in a parenthesis, as the sixteenth verse is the continuation of the subject mentioned in the tenth.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Nothing can account for such a number as five hundred assembling at one spot but the expectation of some promised manifestation of their risen Lord: and the promise before His resurrection, twice repeated after it, best explains this immense gathering.
