LUKE
24:44-53
44
And He said unto them, These are My words which I spake unto you, while I was
yet with, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law
of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning Me. 45 Then opened He
their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; 46 and He said unto
them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from
the dead the third day; 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in His name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 Ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I send forth the promise of My Father upon
you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. 50 And He led them out until they were over against
Bethany: and He lifted up His hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass,
while He blessed them, He parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. 52
And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem
with great joy: 53 and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
