Matthew 28:13-20

13 and said, “Tell people, ¹‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep. ’

14 And if this comes to ²the governor’s ears, we will ³satisfy him and keep you out of trouble. ”

15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews ⁴to this day.

The Great Commission

16 Now the eleven disciples ⁵went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

17 And when they saw him they ⁶worshiped him, but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and said to them, ⁷“All authority ⁸in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 ⁹Go therefore and ¹⁰make disciples of ¹¹all nations, ¹²baptizing them ¹³in^{[a] 14}the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them ¹⁵to observe all that ¹⁶I have commanded you. And behold, ¹⁷I am with you always, to ¹⁸the end of the age. ”
