Scripture Text: Matthew 28:¹⁶So the eleven talmidim went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go. ¹⁷When they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him; but some hesitated. ¹⁸Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”

John Wesley's Notes-Commentary: Matthew 28:16-20
Verses:

28:18

All power is given to me - Even as man. As God, he had all power from eternity.

28:19

Disciple all nations - Make them my disciples. This includes the whole design of Christ's commission. Baptizing and teaching are the two great branches of that general design. And these were to be determined by the circumstances of things; which made it necessary in baptizing adult Jews or heathens, to teach them before they were baptized; in discipling their children, to baptize them before they were taught; as the Jewish children in all ages were first circumcised, and after taught to do all God had commanded them. 16:15 .
