And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.

You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus himself.

The city's wall was built on twelve foundation stones, on which were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age."

He said to them, "Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all people.

and said to them, "This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later,

and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

The Lord said to him, "Go, because I have chosen him to serve me, to make my name known to Gentiles and kings and to the people of Israel.
