ἰδοὺ, Ἰησοῦς ὑπήντησεν αὐταῖς
behold Jesus met ˱with˲_them
Many ancient manuscripts read behold, Jesus met them. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “behold, as they were going to report to his disciples, Jesus met them.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction
ἐκράτησαν αὐτοῦ τοὺς πόδας
took_hold_of ˱of˲_him the feet
In Jesus’ culture, people would kneel down and seize or hold someone’s feet when they wanted to show great honor and respect toward that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning of this action explicitly. Alternate translation: [seized his feet out of respect] or [seized his feet to show him honor]
28:1-10 The discovery of the empty tomb and the various resurrection appearances are presented with different emphases in each of the four Gospels. Matthew focuses on the reunion in Galilee, the attempt on the part of the Jewish leaders to discredit the resurrection, and the significance of the resurrection for the salvation of the world.
