Matthew 28:20

and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Jesus speaks to the eleven disciples immediately after his resurrection, concluding the commission to make disciples of all nations. The words — διδασκόντες (didaskontes) means teaching, and τηρεῖν (tērein) means to observe or keep. These present participles link instruction directly to ongoing obedience. The thread — The promise of divine presence echoes Matthew 28:20, Joshua 1:5, and Isaiah 41:10, while the charge to persevere aligns with Acts 18:9. Why it lands — The text commands readers to implement every instruction given by Christ and to act without fear because his presence extends to the end of the age.
