Context of Matthew 28:19

17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Commentaries on Matthew 28:19

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Go ye therefore - Because I have the authority aforesaid, and can send whomsoever I will to do whatsoever I please: - teach, , make disciples of all nations, bring them to an acquaintance with God who bought them, and then baptize them in the name of the Father. It is natural to suppose that adults were the first subjects of baptism; for as the Gospel was, in a peculiar manner, sent to the Gentiles, they must hear and receive it, before they could be…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Go ye therefore - “Because” all power is mine, go! I can defend you. The world is placed under my control. It is redeemed. It is given me in promise by my Father, as the purchase of my death. Though you are weak, yet I am strong! Though you will encounter many troubles and dangers, yet I can defend you! Though you die, yet I live, and the work shall be accomplished! Teach all nations - The word rendered “teach,” here, is not the one that is usually so…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 16-20Verses 16-20 This evangelist passes over other appearances of Christ, recorded by Luke and John, and hastens to the most solemn; one appointed before his death, and after his resurrection. All that see the Lord Jesus with an eye of faith, will worship him. Yet the faith of the sincere may be very weak and wavering. But Christ gave such convincing proofs of his resurrection, as made their faith to triumph over doubts. He now solemnly commissioned the…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19go and (literally going): This is a command to make disciples. Matthew likely meant "go" as a separate command, not just as "while you go"(compare similar uses in Matthew 9:6; Acts 10:20). make disciples: A disciple turns from sin, trusts Jesus for salvation, and obeys his teachings. all nations: The gospel mission to non-Jewish (Gentile) people officially started here (see Matthew 10:5–6; 15:24; also 1:1; 2:1–12; 8:5–13; 21:43; 24:14; 26:13). Two parts…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1919. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations--rather, "make disciples of all nations"; for "teaching," in the more usual sense of that word, comes in afterwards, and is expressed by a different term. baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost--It should be, "into the name"; as in 1Co 10:2, "And were all baptized unto (or rather 'into') Moses"; and Ga 3:27, "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ."Read the comment
