Jesus’ Final Commission

24:44 Then111 he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me112 in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms113 must be fulfilled.” 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures,114 24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ115 would suffer116 and would rise from the dead on the third day, 24:47 and repentance117 for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed118 in his name to all nations,119 beginning from Jerusalem.120 24:48 You are witnesses121 of these things. 24:49 And look, I am sending you122 what my Father promised.123 But stay in the city124 until you have been clothed with power125 from on high.”
