Many [[Christianity|Christians]] consider it their obligation to follow what is often termed the [[Great Commission]] of [[Jesus]], recorded in the final verses of the [[Gospel]] of [[Matthew the Evangelist|Matthew]]: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."<ref>{{Bibleverse|Matthew|28:19-20|KJV}}</ref> The [[Acts of the Apostles]] and other sources contain several accounts of early Christians following this directive by engaging in individual conversations and mass sermons to spread the [[Good News (Christianity)|Good News]].
