*****************************************************************************

L: Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. P: When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. L: And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. P: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, Baptizing them in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, L: and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. U: And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

****************************************************************************
