Portions: Matthew 27 - 28; Mark 1

When He was accused by the chief priests and the elders,
He gave no answer.
(Matthew 27:12)

Then Jesus came to them and said,
"All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to Me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
and teaching them to obey everything 
I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age."
(Matthew 28:18-20)

And so John came, 
baptizing in the desert region
and preaching a baptism of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins.
(Mark 1:4)
