| “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,
I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world.
Amen.” (Mt 28:18-20 av) |
“And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And
remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."” (Mt
28:18-20 NRSV) |
| "Then opened
he their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third
day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And ye are witnesses of these things." (Lu 24:45-48 AV) |
"Then he
opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to
them, "Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to

nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these
things." (Lu 24:45-48 NRSV) |
| "Moreover,
brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto
you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which
also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto
you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you
first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died
for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures:" (1Co 15:1-4 AV) |
"Now I would
remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I
proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you
stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold
firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you have
come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first
importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our
sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried,
and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the
scriptures," (1Co 15:1-4 NRSV) |
