Luke 24:44-53
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was
still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the
prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds
to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that
the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and
that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to
all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things
And see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised; so stay here in
the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” Then he
led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed
them. While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was
carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy; and they were continually in the temple blessing
God.
