Matthew 28:20

The Great Commission

Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. And look, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age.

"Συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος" is rendered "completion of the age" rather than the common "end of the world" — *synteleias* means a finishing or completing, and *aiōnos* refers to an age or era, not the physical world (which would be *kosmos*). "Look" preserves the force of the interjection *idou*, which calls immediate attention to what follows.
