Let's do a BIBLE verse study!
Let's look at Matthew 28:19.
Most people do not seem to understand this passage, as evidenced by their actions.
Perhaps they have trouble reading it, so here I am to help.
In this Bible study, you will be given some choices from which to choose that will help you with your understanding.
For simplicity's sake, we will take it one word at a time.
