The Great Commission does not for part of Luke's Gospel or the follow-on Acts of the Apostles. In fact it is inconsistent with the story of the resurrected Jesus, as told in Luke-Acts.
The Great Commission is found in Matthew's Gospel, at Matthew 28:16:20, with Jesus saying a final goodbye to the apostles at a mountail in Galilee and telling them to go thence and preach to all nations:
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus met the apostles for a meal on the evening of his resurrection then took them out towards Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven (Luke 24:50-51). Acts of the Apostles is similar to Luke's Gospel, except that Jesus was taken up bodily to heaven near Jerusalem forty days after his resurrection. In neither book is there a place for Jesus to say a final goodbye to the apostles and tell them to go thence and preach to all nations.

Where was the Great Commission?
According to Matthew's Gospel, Jesus told the women to send the disciples to Galilee, where he would meet them. This meeting took place in a mountain in Galilee and ended with the Great Commission, in which Jesus sent the disciples to teach to all nations, saying that he would be with them (spiritually) always. This is a very different tradition than that developed in Luke/Acts and somewhat copied in John, but most Christians do not notice the disjunctions.
