AI OVERVIEW: Jesus teaches with authority in the synagogue and commands impure spirits to obey, prompting questions about who gave him that authority. He answers by tracing ordination—shmeiha—from Moses to Joshua and then to the apostles, and he affirms that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him before sending his disciples to go make more disciples, baptizing in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all that he has commanded. The risen mandate culminates in the Great Commission, with disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry heaven's authority into every corner of life as they multiply faithful learners who become disciple-makers.
