[https://biblehub.com/commentaries/poole/matthew/28.htm '''Matthew Poole's Commentary''' (Mt 28:20)] {{quotation|Go ye therefore, and teach all nations; the Greek is mayhteusate, make disciples all nations; but that must be first by preaching and instructing them in the principles of the Christian faith, and Mark expounds it, telling us our Saviour said, ''Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature, that is, to every reasonable creature capable of hearing and receiving it.'' I cannot be of their mind, who think that persons may be baptized before they are taught; we want precedents of any such baptism in Scripture, though indeed we find precedents of persons baptized who had but a small degree of the knowledge of the gospel; but it should seem that they were all first taught that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and were not baptized till they professed such belief, '''Acts 8:37''', and John baptized them in Jordan, ''confessing their sins'', '''Matthew 3:6'''. But it doth not therefore follow, that children of such professors are not to be baptized, for the apostles were commanded to baptize ''all nations:'' children are a great part of any nation, if not the greatest part, and although amongst the Jews those that were converted to the Jewish religion were first instructed in the law of God before they were circumcised, yet the fathers being once admitted, the children were circumcised at eight days old; nor were they under any covenant different from us, though we be under a more clear manifestation of the same covenant of grace, of which circumcision was a sign and seal to them, as baptism is to us. Infants are capable of the obligations of baptism, for the obligation ariseth from the equity of the thing, not from the understanding and capacity of the person; they are also capable of the same privileges, ''for of such is the kingdom of God'', as our Saviour hath taught us.
