Matthew 28:16-20 16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." NASU |
1 Corinthians 15:6 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; NASU |
NOTES:
1) See Resurrection Synopses Common Note
2) R.C. Foster offers some reasoning (in his book The Life of Christ) that the Great Commission was told before the eleven and an additional 500 brethren. However, it is hard to be certain if these events occurred at the same time.
