The Outline of Matthew's Gospel, VII

THE KING’S DEATH & TRIUMPH (Mt 26-28)
Jesus is betrayed, arrested and crucified. In spite of the authorities’ precautions, he rises from the dead, appears to his followers, and says, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me” (28:10). This leads to Jesus’ final teaching, the Great Commission, in which he entrusts to his followers the ongoing mission of making disciples, incorporating them into the new community, and teaching them to obey the way of Jesus.
