Luke 24:44-53 ▼

44 And He said to them, “These are My words, which I spoke to you? being still with you?, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all things having been written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms.”

45 Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.

46 And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead on the third day,

47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins are to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem.

48 You? are witnesses of these things.

49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you?. But you?, remain in the city until you? should be clothed with power from on high.”

50 And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands, He blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, in His blessing them, that He was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.

52 And they, having worshiped Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and they were through all time in the temple, blessing God.
