18 And
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given
to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 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, 20 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.
(Mathew
20)
28:18-
15
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does
not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it
will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover.”
(Mark 16:15-18)
6
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord,
will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them,
“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His
own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
(Acts 1:6-8)
