I'm assuming that Matthew's chapter 28 has some unity; 28:10 has the women
being told, hUPAGETE APAGGEILATE TOIS ADELFOIS MOU hINA APELQWSIN EIS THN
GALILAIAN, KA'KEI ME OYONTAI. I would assume that it is NOT only the eleven
who go to Galilee in Mt's perspective but a larger group. I'd also be
inclined to think there's redaction of a tradition going on here, but even
apart from that, for my part, I think that Mt does assume a larger group
than the Eleven are present for this event.
