The Great Commission

¹⁶But the eleven disciples proceeded ^(A)to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. ¹⁷And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but ^(B)some ^[a]were doubtful. ¹⁸And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “^(C)All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. ¹⁹^[b]^(D)Go, therefore, and ^(E)make disciples of ^(F)all the nations, ^(G)baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to ^[c]follow all that I commanded you; and behold, ^(H)I am with you ^[d]always, to ^(I)the end of the age.”

Jesus among His Disciples

¹⁹Now when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were ^[a]shut where the disciples were together due to ^(A)fear of the ^[b]Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and *said to them, “^(B)Peace be to you.” ²⁰And when He had said this, ^(C)He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then ^(D)rejoiced when they saw the Lord. ²¹So Jesus said to them again, “^(E)Peace be to you; ^(F)just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” ²²And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³^(G)If you forgive the sins of any, their sins ^[c]have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
