Matthew 28:16-20

Listen to Matthew 28:16-20

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples were on their way to Galilee, headed for the mountain Jesus had set for their reunion.

17 The moment they saw him they worshiped him. Some, though, held back, not sure about worship, about risking themselves totally.

18 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you:

19 Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

20 Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."
