Matthew 28:16-20

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them (Directed - Made Appointment)-(Meet Him).

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted (Still had Doubt).

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying (Breaking the silence), All power is given unto me (I Have Been Given) in heaven and in earth (Authority-Rule).

19 Go ye therefore (Now Then Go), and teach all nations (Make Them My Disciples All Nations), baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
