studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p26" data-pid="26" class="s5"><strong>make disciples:</strong> Or “make learners.” The Greek verb <em>ma·the·teuʹo</em> has the basic meaning “to teach” with the intent of making pupils or disciples. At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/16/0" data-bid="17-1" class="b">Mt 13:52</a>, it is rendered “is taught,” and at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/17/0" data-bid="18-1" class="b">Mt 27:57</a>, it is rendered “had . . . become a disciple.” At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/18/0" data-bid="19-1" class="b">Ac 14:21</a>, it is used to describe how Paul and Barnabas were “making quite a few disciples” in Derbe. The verbs “baptizing” and “teaching” used in this context show what is involved in the command to “make disciples.”—For a discussion of the related Greek noun <em>ma·the·tesʹ,</em> see <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/9/0">study note on Mt 5:1</a>.</p> <p id="p27" data-pid="27" class="s5"><strong>people of all the nations:</strong> A literal translation reads “all nations,” but the context indicates that this term refers to individuals out of all nations, since the Greek pronoun “them” in the expression <strong>baptizing them</strong> is in the masculine gender and refers to people, not to “nations,” which is neuter in Greek. This command to reach “people of all the nations” was new. Prior to Jesus’ ministry, the Scriptures indicate that Gentiles were welcomed to Israel if they came to serve Jehovah. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">1Ki 8:41-43</a>) With this command, however, Jesus commissions his disciples to extend the preaching work to people other than natural Jews, emphasizing the worldwide scope of the Christian disciple-making work.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">Mt 10:1,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/20/1" data-bid="21-2" class="b"> 5-7;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/20/2" data-bid="21-3" class="b"> Re 7:9</a>; see <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/10/0">study note on Mt 24:14</a>.</p> <p id="p28" data-pid="28" class="s5"><strong>in the name of:</strong> The Greek term for “name” (<em>oʹno·ma</em>) can refer to more than a personal name. In this context, it involves recognition of authority and position of the Father and the Son as well as the role of the holy spirit. Such recognition results in a new relationship with God.—Compare <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/11/0">study note on Mt 10:41</a>.</p> <p id="p29" data-pid="29" class="s5"><strong>the Father . . . the Son . . . the holy spirit:</strong> Recognition of the Father, Jehovah God, is natural, since he is our Creator and Life-Giver. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b">Ps 36:7,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/21/1" data-bid="22-2" class="b"> 9;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/21/2" data-bid="22-3" class="b"> Re 4:11</a>) However, the Bible also shows that no human can gain salvation without recognizing the role of the Son in God’s purpose. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/22/0" data-bid="23-1" class="b">Joh 14:6;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/22/1" data-bid="23-2" class="b"> Ac 4:12</a>) It is also vital to recognize the role of God’s holy spirit because, among other things, God uses his active force to give life (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/23/0" data-bid="24-1" class="b">Job 33:4</a>), to inspire his message to humans (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/24/0" data-bid="25-1" class="b">2Pe 1:21</a>), and to empower them to do his will (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b">Ro 15:19</a>). Although some believe that this enumeration supports the Trinity doctrine, the Bible never indicates that the three are equal in eternity, power, and position. That they are mentioned together in the same verse does not prove that they share divinity, eternity, and equality.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070628/26/0" data-bid="27-1" class="b">Mr
