2. Matthew 28:18–20
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I
commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to
the end of the age.”
3. Mark 16:15–18
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach
the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has
been baptized shall be saved; but he who has
disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs will
accompany those who have believed: in My name they
will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly
poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the
sick, and they will recover.”
4. Luke 24:45–49
Then He opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures, and He said to them, “Thus it is written,
that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the
dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness
of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the
nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses
of these things. And behold, I am sending forth the
promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in
the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
5. Acts 1:4–8
Gathering them together, He commanded them not to
leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had
promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5
for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit not many days from now…but you
will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon
you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest
part of the earth.”

18. Theology based on a misquote
Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.
Francis of Assisi
No brother should preach contrary to the form and
regulations of the holy church…All the Friars…should
preach by their deeds

19. Use your words

impossible to
preach the
Gospel without
words. The
Gospel is
inherently verbal,
and preaching
the Gospel is
inherently verbal
behavior.
How then will they call
on Him in whom they
have not believed? How
will they believe in Him
whom they have not
heard? And how will
they hear without a
preacher?
