Matthew 28:18
16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19 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,
20 and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
