THE whole Verse runs thus • And that repentance, and remission of Sins should be preached in his name among all nations, Beginning at Jerusalem. The words were spoken by Christ after he rose from the Dead, and they are here rehearsed after an Historical manner, but do contain in them a formal Commission, with a special Clause therein. The Commission is as you see for the Preaching of the Gospel, and is very distinctly inserted in the Holy Record by Matthew and Mark. Go teach all Nations, &c. Go ye into all the World and preach the Gospel unto every Creature, Matt. 28.19. Mark 16.15. Only this Clause ⟨p. 2⟩is in special mentioned by Luke, who saith, That as Christ would have the Doctrine of Repentance and Remission of Sins preached in his Name among all Nations, so he would have the People of Jerusalem to have the first proffer thereof, preach it, saith Christ, in all Nations; but begin at Jerusalem.
