Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission

16 So the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated for them.
17 And [when they] saw him, they worshiped [him], but some doubted.
18 And Jesus approached [and] spoke to them, saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore, go [and] make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the age."
