I only use the KJV and I do not find that scripture. It does say Go and Teach...
I do not use or rely on other versions - they twist and change the meaning of scriptures. delete words and whole verses.
What are your own thoughts...

I know that during the 3 year ministry of Jesus Christ he sent out disciples to teach and preach the gospel and do signs and wonders as it says in Luke 9 and 10. Both times he sent 70 in number and in pairs. Just as John the Baptist had disciples so too did Jesus Christ as well even from the very start when John told his disciples that Jesus was the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world in John 1:29.
After he arose from the dead and was soon to be going to heaven he told his disciples to go and preach his gospel to all the world.
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching 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.

Matthew 28:16-20 addresses the eleven disciples following His resurrection, giving them specific instructions. You are right to point out that the KJV says they were to go out and teach all nations, baptising them. It does not say "make disciples" of people of all nations.
However, the corresponding account in Luke 24:47-49 adds that this teaching was to be preaching. And from Acts chapter 2 we further learn that 120 disciples obeyed Jesus' command to wait in Jerusalem till the Holy Spirit came to empower them for such a global task. All 120 of those Christians were gifted with teaching and witnesses, not just the eleven disciples.
The Bible is clear that there were hundreds of disciples, though only a dozen were apostles. When the Holy Spirit enabled the 120 to witness to Jesus, they taught those who listened and responded. They taught them how to be disciples - followers of Jesus. In turn, once they had been taught, they discipled others. Just read the book of Acts! It's full of that happening - disciple-making in progress, on a huge scale! In one day, Peter's preaching resulted in 3,000 converts - new disciples.
A disciple learns from the teacher. Teaching is a vital part of the Christian mission - to teach people how to follow Jesus. A person being taught how to follow Jesus, the Great Teacher, is a disciple of Jesus. So just because Matthew 28 does not say to make disciples, by saying the disciples are to teach people, that is the process of making a disciple. The two go together hand in glove. Read other parts in the KJV where the word 'disciples' is used, and you will see that you cannot separate teaching either from being a disciple, or making disciples. Mt 9:14; 21:1; Lk 9:17; 19:29; 14:26; Jn 6:66; Acts 9:1, 10, 26

Look it up with biblehub and get the interline are Greek.
Teach is incorrect.
The disciples were to go out into all surrounding nations and make disciples. These were a special group who would leave family, pick up their cross, usually being martyred.
They would get churches started, move on.
Notice Jesus didn't tell Mary or Lazarus, for example.
Just disciples do that.
We have enough to get rid of sin.
We are to be the salt, keeping things in good shape.
Any translation misses...if you study other languages.
I use biblehub a lot.

Where in the KJV version of the Bible does it say that you should put on your pants in the morning? Are you going to stop doing that because it doesn't say to do that? Why not? Becuz it's common sense right. The Bible doesn't need to tell anyone to make disciples(and it does) Jesus and Paul both gave us an example of what to do and we should follow their example. They both went from town to town and they would teach people then leave. Those people who they taught became "disciples" to the "rabbi". When the rabbi left if those disciples weren't able to make new disciples of their own then the spiritual movement would just die off and it would never grow like it did.
