Luke 24:44-49
Wycliffe Bible
44 and [he] said to them, These be the words that I spake to you [and he said to them, These be the words which I spake to you], when I was yet with you; for it is need that all things be fulfilled, that be written in the law of Moses [which be written in the law of Moses], and in prophets, and in psalms, of me.
45 Then he opened to them wit [Then he opened wit to them], that they should understand [the] scriptures.
46 And he said to them, For thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death the third day [and to rise again from dead the third day];
47 and penance and remission of sins to be preached in his name to all folks, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye be witnesses of these things.
49 And I shall send the promise of my Father into you [And I send the promise of my Father into you]; but sit ye in the city, till ye be clothed with virtue from on high.

New Matthew Bible
44 And he said to them, These are the things that I told to you while I was still with you: that all must be fulfilled that was written about me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms.
45 Then he opened their wits to understand the scriptures, 46 and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise again from death the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, and must begin at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I will send the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
