Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Commissions The Eleven To Make Disciples of All Nations
16 And the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus ordered them. 17 And having seen Him, they worshiped Him. But the[a] ones doubted[b]. 18 And having come to them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth was given to Me. 19 Therefore having gone, make-disciples-of [c] all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to keep all that I commanded you. And behold— I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the age”.

- Matthew 28:17 As in 26:67, this could mean ‘others doubted’; or, ‘some of the eleven doubted’. Some think this is the appearance to 500 people mentioned in 1 Cor 15:6.
- Matthew 28:17 Or, hesitated. Perhaps Matthew means they were unsure it was really Jesus, until He came to them, v 18.
- Matthew 28:19 This is the command. Included in the carrying out of this command is the going, the baptizing, and the teaching.
