24:44 Then 13 he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me 14 in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms 15 must be fulfilled.” 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures, 16 24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ 17 would suffer 18 and would rise from the dead on the third day, 24:47 and repentance 19 for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 20 in his name to all nations, 21 beginning from Jerusalem. 22 24:48 You are witnesses 23 of these things. 24:49 And look, I am sending you 24 what my Father promised. 25 But stay in the city 26 until you have been clothed with power 27 from on high.”
24:50 Then 28 Jesus 29 led them out as far as Bethany, 30 and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 24:51 Now 31 during the blessing 32 he departed 33 and was taken up into heaven. 34 24:52 So 35 they worshiped 36 him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 37 24:53 and were continually in the temple courts 38 blessing 39 God. 40
