Jesus tells his disciples that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him. He commands them to go and make disciples of all nations by baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He also instructs them to teach these new disciples to obey all of Jesus' commands. Jesus promises that he will be with the disciples always until the end of the age.

2. Matthew 28:18-20
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.”
