Then said Jesus unto them,
Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
Hereby He showed that He will meet with His help all those who begin the ways of virtue, and enable them to attain to everlasting salvation.
It was told above how He rose when the sepulchre was closed, to show that that body which had been shut up therein dead, was now become immortal. He now offers His feet to be held by the women, to show that He had real flesh, which can be touched by mortal creatures. For that is of mystery, this of her sex;that is of divine grace, this of human nature. And so also we, when we have knowledge of divine things, live unto God; when we are wise in human things, weare blinded by our own selves.
