Here we have Matthew's account of the resurrection.
But also we see the instruction to teach all nations using the word commonly translated gentile.
The best way to teach is by doing what Christ said and that includes what he commanded.
V20 To understand the significance of this verse you need to know that it is not your study but the Holy Ghost that can teach you all things. Every one should humbly seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
The Kingdom was taken^[1] from the Pharisees because of their sophistry concerning the Altars of Clay and Stone, the Corban of the Pharisees which was the antitheses of legal charity and the covetous practices of public religion, and what the corruption of the leaven was and how one can circumcise the heart through the Holy Spirit by letting God write upon their heart and mind.

The Resurrection

[1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.^[2]

The Angel

[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

The Angel said

[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

[7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

[8] And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

They ran but was hailed

[9] And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

[10] Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

The Guards bribed

[11] Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch^[3] came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

[12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel^[4], they gave large money unto the soldiers,

[13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

[14] And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

[15] So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission

[16] Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain^[5] where Jesus had appointed them.

[17] And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded^[6] you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
