But go, tell his disciples and Peter: he is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you — the commission to tell the disciples and Peter is the women's specific mission. And Peter is a specific inclusion — the disciple who denied three times is personally named as a recipient of the message. He is not excluded from the post-resurrection community; he is specifically included. He is going ahead of you into Galilee fulfills the promise of 14:28. Just as he told you: the resurrection fulfills the prediction, confirming the rest of what Jesus predicted.
