Matthew 28
Matthew 28 records the resurrection of Jesus and the Great Commission — the risen Christ sending his disciples to make disciples of all nations, with the promise 'I am with you alway.'
The Book of Matthew · New Testament · chapter 28 of 28.
Where this chapter sits
Closing the gospel, the narrative follows the women who first find the tomb empty, the bribed cover story spread by the guards, and a final meeting on a Galilean hillside. The disciples' response there is mixed, worship alongside doubt, before the risen figure issues instructions covering baptism and ongoing teaching. The gospel ends without an ascension scene, unlike the parallel accounts in Luke and Acts.
Key verses (KJV)
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” — Matthew 28:19 (KJV)
“Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” — Matthew 28:20 (KJV)
What to notice as you read
Mark the mixed reaction on the hillside, worship alongside doubt, immediately before the commission is spoken. The instruction names baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit without specifying its manner, and the closing promise of abiding presence answers directly the fear the disciples still carry.
