24:44 Then 5 he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me 6 in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms 7 must be fulfilled.” 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures, 8 24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ 9 would suffer 10 and would rise from the dead on the third day, 24:47 and repentance 11 for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed 12 in his name to all nations, 13 beginning from Jerusalem. 14 24:48 You are witnesses 15 of these things. 24:49 And look, I am sending you 16 what my Father promised. 17 But stay in the city 18 until you have been clothed with power 19 from on high.”
24:50 Then 20 Jesus 21 led them out as far as Bethany, 22 and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 24:51 Now 23 during the blessing 24 he departed 25 and was taken up into heaven. 26 24:52 So 27 they worshiped 28 him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 29 24:53 and were continually in the temple courts 30 blessing 31 God. 32
