The Great Commission

16 iNow the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some jdoubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, k“All lauthority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and mmake disciples of nall nations, baptizing them in1 the oname of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am pwith you always, to the end of the age.”


Acts 2:36–41

36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both gLord and hChrist, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, i“Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, j“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the kforgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the lgift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and mfor your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God ncalls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this ocrooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were padded that day about three thousand souls.
