And Jesus said this where? Did he tell this to Nicodemus? The Disciples? Paul?

The actual Scripture you referred to says:
18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Hmmmm. Who did Jesus say had all authority in heaven and on earth? Oh! It was given to... JESUS. He said to go and make disciples of all nations... he said nothing about putting faith and trust in people.... He did say to teach them to observe all that I have commanded -- which, if you go back and read what Christ commanded, would be that you must believe in Him -- have faith in Him -- trust in Him....
Oooh, that pesky Scripture. Dang. So... care to try again?
