MATTHEW 28:18-20 HARMONIZED
WITH THE REST OF SCRIPTURE!
And Jesus (after He had risen from the grave - v. 6) came (to Galilee - v. 16) and spoke unto them (the eleven - v. 16), saying, "All power (Greek exousia -authority) is given unto Me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore (Therefore, I am commanding that you go), and teach (Greek matheteuo - make disciples which requires teaching the Gospel, the only message with the power to produce saving faith - Romans 1:16; 10:17) all nations, baptizing (Greek - baptizo meaning to immerse) them (those who believe the Gospel are to be immersed in water, a symbol of their being baptized by the Holy Spirit into Christ - Galatians 3:26-27) in the name of (as the representative of - 2 Corinthians 5:20-21) the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you (love God and love your neighbor - Matthew 22:37-40): and, lo (Greek - idou - behold), I am with you always, even unto the end of the world (Greek - aion - age). Amen."
Note: The order of the text is as follows:
1. Go to all nations.
2. Proclaim the Gospel.
3. Baptize believers.
4. Disciple them.
JESUS IS COMING FOR HIS DISCIPLES!
WILL YOU BE WITH US WHEN WE GO?
