He didn't say that authority had been given to 'YOU'..or to any human.
What he said was "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."(Matthew 28:18 NIV)(Daniel 7:14/Matthew 11:27/Philippians 2:9). Here he was saying that God had given him (Jesus)authority to judge and command those on earth, so in this particular scripture, he was commanding his followers to preach to, and teach, others (Matthew 28:19+20).
