⁴⁴ Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.”^{(A) 45} Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah^[a] is^[b] to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day^{(B) 47} and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.^{(C) 48} You are witnesses^[c] of these things.^(D)

⁴ While staying^[a] with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait there for the promise of the Father. “This,” he said, “is what you have heard from me;^{(A) 5} for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with^[b] the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”^(B)

⁹ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.^{(A) 10} While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them.^{(B) 11} They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”^(C)
