The Great Commission

Acts 1:3–8

44 Then He said to them, m“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And nHe opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

46 Then He said to them, o“Thus it is written, 3and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and premission of sins should be preached in His name qto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ryou are witnesses of these things.

The Ascension

Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9

49 s“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city 4of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

50 And He led them out tas far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 uNow it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 vAnd they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually win the temple 5praising and blessing God. 6Amen.
