# Matthew 28:18-20 and Justification Matthew 28:18-20 does not directly teach about justification. These verses, known as the Great Commission, state: "And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age'" (ESV). While this passage emphasizes discipleship, baptism, and obedience following conversion, the doctrine of justification by faith is taught more explicitly in other passages like Romans 3-5 and Galatians 2-3.
