It may be nice to read, but I wouldn't use the translation of it to debate Scriptures with LOL. But then I like to read the NIV Chronological taken from the W-H MS, but for me, it is just fine.
At least Matt 10 doesn't say those hated by "Muhammad's" name.

Peace bro.

Luke 21:9 and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but The/to <3588> End/teloV <5056>[is] not immediately.'

to <3588> {THE} teloV <5056> {END.}

Matthew 10:22 and Ye shall be hated by all because of My Name, but he who hath endured to an end/teloV <5056>, he shall be saved.

The duty of Moshiach is to be sent for the Jews and the Gentiles. This is written not only in OT Prophesies, but also in the New Testament, by Paul, and others.

I still want the Muslims to give me their view of the greek word for "World" in John 1:29 and in our NT.

John 1:29 On the morrow, seeing the John, the Jesus, coming toward him, and saith--Lo! the Lamb of the God, the one taking away the sin of the World/kosmou <2889>.

Matthew 24:14 and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world/house-hold/oikou-menh <3625> , for a testimony to all the Nations; and then shall The/to <3588> End/teloV <5056> arrive

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

I just quoted you one. Also read the book or Acts. It will surely support the command that Jesus gave.

Where in the Qu'ran does it say that Mohammad was for all of mankind?
Could it be, in the cotext of the gospels, (not on the writings of Paul who has his agenda on preaching to gentiles) the 'nations' could mean the 12 tribes of Israel that were residing outside Judah and Canaan?

Other than that, Matt 28:19, as you very well know, is not found in the most ancient mss you have.

Which ones are those? Even if the phrase "Baptize in name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit" wasn't in there, Jesus was still given authority in heaven and earth. The 3 main gk MSS below do show it.
Btw, can you respond to post # 14 please? Thanks and Peace.

18 And Jesus, coming near, spake unto them, saying--All authority, in heaven and on land, hath been given unto me; 19 Go ye, therefore, and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,-- 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I myself have commanded you, And lo! I, am, with you, all the days, until the conclusion of the age.

Christians consider Paul authoritative, Chirst appeared to him after all. Further, John 4, the Samaritan woman, clearly indicates that the time has come for God, through Christ, to be available to all. Additionally, he heals the woman in Mark 7, because of her faith, and eventually he does come to us "dogs" (gentiles). Additionally in Mark 12, he gives tells the pharisees that they'll only get the sign of Jonah - 3 days and 3 nights, and then to a pagan (gentile) city Nineveh.

So you see, the NT clearly indicates that Chirst came for all mankind. I wonder why you ask though.

All the Prophets of God are universal...

THe Baha'i view is that all the Messengers of God ...Manifestations of God were "universal" and were sent for all mankind. There were however cultural limitations and physical barriers however that limited the past dispensations.

For a single purpose were the Prophets, each and all, sent down to earth; for this was Christ made manifest, for this did Baha'u'llah raise up the call of the Lord: that the world of man should become the world of God, this nether realm the Kingdom, this darkness light, this satanic wickedness all the virtues of heaven -- and unity, fellowship and love be won for the whole human race, that the organic unity should reappear and the bases of discord be destroyed and life everlasting and grace everlasting become the harvest of mankind.

(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 31)

Why has God sent the prophets? It is self-evident that the prophets are the educators of men and the teachers of the human race. They come to bestow universal education upon humanity, to give humanity training, to uplift the human race from the abyss of despair and desolation and enable man to attain the apogee of advancement and glory. The people are in darkness; the prophets bring them into the realm of light. They are in a state of utter imperfection; the prophets imbue them with perfections. The purpose of the prophetic mission is no other than the education and guidance of the people.

(Abdu'l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 94)
