Luke 24:44-49
1599 Geneva Bible
44 [a]And he said unto them, These are the words, which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all must be fulfilled which are written of me in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus is it written, and thus it behooved 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, [b]beginning at Jerusalem.
48 Now ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I do send the (A)promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, [c]until ye be endued with power from on high.
