Luke 24:44–53
44 Now He said to them, “aThese are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the bLaw of Moses and the Prophets and cthe Psalms must be fulfilled.”
45 Then He aopened their 1minds to understand the Scriptures,
46 and He said to them, “aThus it is written, that the 1Christ would suffer and brise again from the dead the third day,
47 and that arepentance 1for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 2in His name to ball the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 “You are awitnesses of these things.
49 “And behold, aI am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but byou are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
50 And He led them out as far as aBethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the temple 1praising God.
