Jesus Sends His Disciples into the world

Jesus sent 'into the world'


God had anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and had sent him into the world.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.   For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
John 3:16-17.

God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through him.
1 John 4:9

Therefore when the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
John 6:14.


Sent into the world at the Jordan

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me wherefore He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. 
Luke 4:18-19.

What do you say of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world?

Jesus' disciples sent 'into the world'


Just as the Father had sent him, Jesus anoints his disciples with the Spirit and sends them into the world.

John 20:21-22.

Just as You sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
