Matthew 28:16-20

The first distinction of Matthew's version of the Great Commission is the fact that all authority has been given to Jesus.

All is a key word in this passage, being used four times:

Jesus has been given all authority;
the disciples must go to all the nations;
the disciples must teach them to obey all things;
Jesus is with the disciples all the days
