Matthew 28:16-20
“Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for
them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him;
but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to
them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me
in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen”
