16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.(A) 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him, but they doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.(B) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit(C) 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”[a]

Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.
