And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Clarke's Matthew 28:17 Bible Commentary
But some doubted - That is, Thomas only at first doubted. The expression simply intimates, that they did not all believe at that time. See the same form noticed on Matthew 26:8 (note), and Matthew 27:44 (note).
Barnes's Matthew 28:17 Bible Commentary
They worshipped him - Paid him honour as the Messiah.
But some doubted - As, for example, Thomas, John 20:25. The disciples had not expected his resurrection; they were therefore slow to believe. The mention of their doubting shows that they were honest men that they were not easily imposed on that they had not previously agreed to affirm that he had risen - that they were convinced only by the strength of the evidence. Their caution in examining the evidence; their slowness to believe; their firm conviction after all their doubts; and their willingness to show their conviction even by their "death," is most conclusive proof that they were "not" deceived in regard to the fact of his resurrection.
