Apostles sent to all nations
Therefore after rising he sent his disciples into the whole world, saying: ‘Go, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.’ (Mt 28:19-20)
And again: ‘You shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.’ (Acts 1:8) So the preaching went out from Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem, as Isaiah said. (Isa 2:3; Mic 4:2)

Irenaeus’s short handbook of the apostolic preaching (Epideixis), preserved in Armenian. English here is a densified reading translation for study. Prior English exists (Robinson / Wilson) — this is not an Original English Translation.
English follows the Armenian of Patrologia Orientalis XII.5. Barthoulot’s French was used as a sense-check only. Robinson (1920) and Wilson’s prior English exist and were checked for independence — this page is densified English, not Original English Translation / no-previous-English.
