Matthew 28:16-20

The Resurrection of Jesus and the Great Commission of the Risen King

Matthew 28 moves from the sealed tomb to the opened tomb, from fear of the guards to comfort for the women, from angelic announcement to personal encounter with Jesus, from truthful witness to bribed falsehood, from the eleven in Galilee to universal mission, and from Jesus’ resurrection to his continuing presence with his disciple-making church.

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
