What does Matthew 28:10 mean?

In Matthew's telling of the events on the morning of the resurrection, Jesus has just revealed Himself, alive and in person, to a few women. He has greeted them first, before any of the 11 disciples or His other followers. They have fallen to the ground and have taken hold of Jesus' feet. This is a sign of humility, but also perhaps a way of knowing that it is really Him in a real living, breathing body.

Now Jesus tells them the same basic message as the angel had spoken (Matthew 28:1–9). He urges them not to be afraid. He gives them the same message for the men He calls His brothers, which may mean the 11 disciples or others of His followers. They are to go to Galilee, and they will see Jesus there (Matthew 26:32).

In a very real sense, Jesus sends out these women as the first evangelists. They will carry the good news that Jesus has be raised from the dead before anyone else does.
