Title The target group of the Ultimate Commission (Matthew 28:19)
 
Creator Lee, Kukzin Viljoen, Francois P.
 
Subject Theology Ultimate Commission; Matthew 28:19; Jews; Gentiles; discipleship
Description The inclusion of ‘all nations’ as the mission target in the Ultimate Commission of Matthew 28:19 somehow comes as a surprise. The Gentiles seem to have been excluded from Jesus’ and his disciples’ mission in two passages (10:5–6; 15:24). In an attempt to establish the target group of the great commandment, this article investigates the meaning of the phrase *[foreign font omitted] used in 28:19 and subsequently the literary contexts of the commandment. *We apologise for the omission of the foreign font in this abstract. Please consult the online PDF to view the foreign font as it should be displayed in the text.
