Luke 24:44-53

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴⁴ And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you - that all which is written of Me in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, must be fulfilled.

⁴⁵ Then He opened their minds, so that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ And said to them, “Thus is it written. And thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ “Now, you are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are filled with power from on high.”

⁵⁰ Afterward, He led them out into Bethany, and lifted up His hands and blessed them.

⁵¹ And it happened that, as He blessed them, He departed 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, praising and blessing God. Amen.
