Where in Matthew does it say Jesus made no other commandments?

Thanks, that brings up a most excellent point:

MATTHEW 28:20 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.

The word 'commanded' is past tense. Therefore, Jesus had already taught the disciples 'all things' which Jesus commanded to be taught. QED.

You said: The word ‘commanded’ is past tense. Therefore, Jesus had already taught the disciples ‘all things’ which Jesus commanded to be taught. QED.

Yup. And as John indicates in his gospel, not all of it was written down. Therefore since we are to observe them we have to get those not documented in scripture from another source.

[Petronski]

It is past tense, but not the end of the verse. Read it like this: Do all I have commanded you and I will be with you to further command you until the end of the world.

Ah, but Haydock puts it better than I ever could:

Jesus Christ will make good his promise:

1. by always dwelling in the hearts of the faithful;
2. by his sacramental presence in the holy Eucharist;
3. by his providential care, and constant protection to his holy Catholic Church.

These last six lines of St. Matthew's gospel, says the bright luminary of France, Bossuet, most clearly demonstrate the infallibility and indefectibility of the one, holy, Catholic Church, which all are commanded to hear and obey.
