Question

What commission does Jesus give his followers at verses 15-18?

a) To go and baptize all nations
b) To go and make disciples of all nations
c) To go and perform miracles
d) To go and build a new temple

Answer 1

The correct answer is option b) To go and make disciples of all nations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commission that Jesus gives to his followers as recorded in the Gospel narrative can be found in the verses following the ones provided, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew 28:19-20 (not detailed in the question, but the reference to verses 15-18 likely points to a commonly known passage later in the Gospels). In these verses, Jesus commands his disciples with a specific mission after his resurrection and before his ascension to heaven:

'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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'

Based on this passage, the correct answer to the question would be: b) To go and make disciples of all nations

This mission involves not only baptism but also teaching the nations to obey Jesus's teachings. It is commonly referred to as the Great Commission.
