Luke 24:44–53

⁴⁴and he said to them, ‘These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.’ ⁴⁵Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings, ⁴⁶and he said to them—‘Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day, ⁴⁷and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: ⁴⁸and ye—ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹‘And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye—abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.’

⁵⁰And he led them forth without—unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, ⁵¹and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven; ⁵²and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy, ⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
