SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:8
Entonces ellas , saliendo del sepulcro con temor y gran gozo, fueron corriendo a dar las nuevas a sus discípulos. Y yendo a dar las nuevas a sus discípulos,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 28:8
Verse 8. They departed quickly from the sepulchre] At the desire of the angel they went into the tomb, to have the fullest certainty of the resurrection. Fear and great joy] Fear, produced by the appearance of this glorious messenger of God; and great joy occasioned by the glad tidings of the resurrection of their Lord and Master. At the mention of unexpected good news, fear and joy are generally intermingled.- Vix sum apud me, ita animus commotus est metu, Spe, gaudio, mirando hoc tanto, tam repentino bono TERANT. Andr. v. 945 "I am almost beside myself, my mind is so agitated with fear, hope, and joy, at this unexpected good news."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre , etc.] Or they went out from it, as it may be rendered, and as it is in ( Mark 16:8), which shows, that they went into the sepulchre upon the invitation of the angel, and saw the place where the Lord lay; and here it was the angel gave them their instructions, and errand to the disciples; which as soon as they received, they quitted the sepulchre in all haste, partly in obedience to the angels orders, and partly through surprise and fear; for Mark says, they fled from the sepulchre, ( Mark 16:8), as persons terrified and affrighted: and it is added here, with fear and great joy : a mixture of both these; with fear and dread, because of the vision they had seen, and with joy at the news of Christs resurrection; and yet in this their faith might not be so confirmed, as to have no doubt about it: they might fear the body was taken away, and removed to some other place, and that this they had seen might be a deception and a delusion. However, between both joy and fear, they set out, and did run to bring his disciples word ; as Mary Magdalene ran to Peter, ( John 20:2), nor is running unusual for women, or unbecoming them on certain occasions; (see Genesis 24:20,28 29:12). Their fright, as well as their joy, and their regard to the angels order, might cause them to run, and make the quicker dispatch.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Christ rose the third day after his death; that was the time he ha often spoken of. On the first day of the first week God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. On this day did He who is the Light of the world, shine out of the darkness of the grave; and this day is from henceforward often mentioned in the New Testament, as the day whic Christians religiously observed in solemn assemblies, to the honour of Christ. Our Lord Jesus could have rolled back the stone by his ow power, but he chose to have it done by an angel. The resurrection of Christ, as it is the joy of his friends, so it is the terror an confusion of his enemies. The angel encouraged the women against their fears. Let the sinners in Zion be afraid. Fear not ye, for his resurrection will be your consolation. Our communion with him must be spiritual, by faith in his word. When we are ready to make this worl our home, and to say, It is good to be here, then let us remember ou Lord Jesus is not here, he is risen; therefore let our hearts rise, an seek the things that are above. He is risen, as he said. Let us neve think that strange which the word of Christ has told us to expect whether the sufferings of this present time, or the glory that is to be revealed. It may have a good effect upon us, by faith to view the plac where the Lord lay. God quickly. It was good to be there, but the servants of God have other work appointed. Public usefulness must be chosen before the pleasure of secret communion with God. Tell the disciples, that they may be comforted under their present sorrows Christ knows where his disciples dwell, and will visit them. Even to those at a distance from the plenty of the means of grace, he wil graciously manifest himself. The fear and the joy together quickene their pace. The disciples of Christ should be forward to make known to each other their experiences of communion with their Lord; and shoul tell others what God has done for their souls.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
28:8 {With fear and great joy} (meta fobou kai caras megales). A touch of life was this as the excited women ran quickly (tachu edramon) as they had been told "to bring his disciples word" (apaggeilai tois maqetais autou). They had the greatest piece of news that it was possible to have. Mark calls it fear and ecstasy. Anything seemed possible now. Mark even says that at first they told no one anything for they were afraid (#Mr 16:9), the tragic close of the text of Mark in Aleph and B, our two oldest manuscripts. But these mingled emotions of ecstasy and dread need cause no surprise when all things are considered.
