Seeing is commanded in this narrative setting, but the form does not define the nature of faith for every reader.

The lemma ὁράω means to see, look, or perceive, and here the form commands the women to see the place.

The form fits Matthew's resurrection witness by joining proclamation to the empty tomb evidence.

In teaching, explain the command as a concrete inspection of the tomb location within the narrative.

Do not make this imperative require visible proof for every later disciple or detach seeing from the announcement already given.
