This is an expectancy coming into its form in the context of the passage from Matthew 28:19. (Hagner, 421)

Scriptural Testimony:

Scriptural testimony shows the chosen passage to be ensconced in the symbolic importance of the narrative Jesus to the Christian identity. Most particularly, Matthew 28 is concerned with the resurrection of Christ and the command associated with it to go forth and preach the word of this miracle. So is this recorded in the text by Davies & Allison which tells that the disciples were "instructed by the risen Lord to make disciples of all nations, 'teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.'" (Davies & Allison, 639)

Interpretation of Others:

The interpretations of others would help to drive the importance of this passage and the broader importance of the whole gospel of Matthew.
Here, Luz & Linss remark that "because Matthew is the chief Gospel of the church, the history of influence of the Synoptic material is predominantly that of the Gospel of Matthew. In distinct from other writings of the New Testament where it is more easily possible to speak of a history of influence of basic ideas, the history of influence of Matthew is one of individual pericopes, even of individual verses and half verses." (Luz & Linss, 95) Quite certainly, this is demonstrated by the degree of importance which one such half verse has manifested through Matthew 28:19. The inherency of proselytizing to the Christian faith may well be rooted in the concise commandment.
