²¹ Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As ^(A)the Father has sent me, ^(B)even so I am sending you.”

^18 (A)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And ^(B)for their sake ^(C)I consecrate myself,^[a] that they also ^(D)may be sanctified^[b] in truth.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”

¹⁷ For ^(A)God did not send his Son into the world ^(B)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

⁸ But you will receive ^(A)power ^(B)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and ^(C)you will be ^(D)my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ^(E)Samaria, and ^(F)to the end of the earth.”

¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(A)“Go into all the world and ^(B)proclaim the gospel to ^(C)the whole creation. ^16 (D)Whoever believes and is ^(E)baptized ^(F)will be saved, but ^(G)whoever ^(H)does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And ^(I)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(J)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(K)they will speak in new tongues; ^18 (L)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(M)they will lay their hands ^(N)on the sick, and they will recover.”

⁴⁷ and that ^(A)repentance for^[a] the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ^(B)in his name ^(C)to all nations, ^(D)beginning from Jerusalem. ^48 (E)You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I am sending ^(F)the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ^(G)are clothed with ^(H)power ^(I)from on high.”

¹⁸ And Jesus came and said to them, ^(A)“All authority ^(B)in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ^19 (C)Go therefore and ^(D)make disciples of ^(E)all nations, ^(F)baptizing them ^(G)in^{[a] (H)}the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them ^(I)to observe all that ^(J)I have commanded you. And behold, ^(K)I am with you always, to ^(L)the end of the age.”

² and ^(A)what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses ^(B)entrust to faithful men,^{[a] (C)}who will be able to teach others also.
