Did Jesus Say "Go and Make Disciples"?

Is there a scripture that says this? In the KJV it says "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations," -- is there another scripture?

Update:

@ tiger and me - I do not understand your answers - maybe I did not word my question right.

Did Jesus specifically say "Go and make Disciples"

I am only asking for a scripture pertaining to this. a lot of other translations say this.

I do not see this in the KJV - it's the only one I use. :D

    In Matthew 28, the GHOST of Jesus allegedly appeared and said those words, but in every other similar occurence when Jesus was alive, he said GIVE UP ALL THAT YOU OWN- TAKING NOTHING WITH YOU and go teach the good news.

    Remembering that the part of Israel where Jesus taught was an arid desert, he told them to go to very distant towns on foot taking no provisions - no food or water. When they arrived at distant towns alive, they would be walking proof that what they said is true. We are gods with the ability to manifest all that we want and need. There is no reason to fear. Money is a pagan god.

    Matthew 28

    18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

    28:18 All authority. See 11:27; Jn 3:35. Absolute sovereign authority—lordship over all—is handed to Christ, “in heaven and on earth.” This is clear proof of His deity. The time of His humiliation was at an end, and God had exalted Him above all (Php 2:9–11).

    28:19 therefore. I.e., on the basis of His authority, the disciples were sent to “make disciples of all the nations.” The sweeping scope of their commission is consummate with His unlimited authority.

    in the name of the Father … Son … Holy Spirit. The formula is a strong affirmation of trinitarianism.

    28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you. The kind of evangelism called for in this commission does not end with the conversion of the unbeliever.

    I am with you. There’s a touching echo of the beginning of Matthew’s gospel here. Immanuel, which is translated, “GOD WITH US” (1:23), remains “with” us “even to the end of the age”—i.e., until He returns bodily to judge the world and establish His earthly kingdom.

    Acts 1:8

    But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

    1 Peter 2:9

    But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

    Romans 10:14-15

    How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

    Mark 16:15

    And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
