And as they went ... Jesus met them - This was when they left the sepulchre the “second” time. Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene when alone, Joh 20:14. “Afterward” he appeared to the other women, as related by Matthew. See the accounts of the resurrection harmonized at the end of this chapter. All hail - This is a term of salutation. The word all has been supplied by the translators. It is not in the original.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

This interview with Christ was unexpected, or ever they were aware, Cant. vi. Note, Christ is nearer to his people than they imagine. They needed not descend into the deep, to fetch Christ thence; he was not there, he was risen; nor go up to heaven, for he was not yet ascended: but Christ was high them, and still in the word is nigh us.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2323: “Obedience Rewarded” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1893)

THESE holy women, these consecrated Maries, shall be our instructors tonight. They were highly-favored to be the first witnesses for our risen Lord! Do you wonder why He chose them? Was it because their hearts were tender and they were very sad at His death, more sad than the men? And is He not known to come, first, to those who need Him most and to pour in oil and wine where the wound gapes widest? It may be so.
