Answer: Visited me
Prison is an ever-present threat in the Gospel narrative, particularly for debtors. Jesus uses debtors' prison as an analogy for holding grudges in the Sermon on the Mount, and imprisonment for debt is the driving motif in the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18). In both cases, it is made clear that the proper thing for a creditor to do is to show mercy.

From Quiz: Bible Literacy 4: Sermon on the Mount
Answer: Make disciples of all the nations.
The Great Commission is all about preaching the Gospel in the four corners of the world and making disciples of the people and baptizing them.
Here's how the Great Commission reads in Matthew 28:16-20 in the NKJV:
"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 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, 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."
As Wikipedia explains, the Great Commission has become "a tenet in Christian theology emphasizing ministry, missionary work, evangelism, and baptism."
