Holman Christian Standard Bible
44 Then He told them, “These are My words(A) that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets,(B) and the Psalms(C) must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He opened their minds(D) to understand(E) the Scriptures. 46 He also said to them, “This is what is written:[a] The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,(F) 47 and repentance for[b] forgiveness of sins(G) would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations,(H) beginning at Jerusalem.(I) 48 You are witnesses(J) of these things. 49 And look, I am sending you[c] what My Father promised.(K) As for you, stay in the city[d] until you are empowered[e](L) from on high.”

50 Then He led them out as far as Bethany,(M) and lifting up His hands(N) He blessed them. 51 And while He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.(O) 52 After worshiping Him,(P) they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.(Q) 53 And they were continually in the temple complex praising God.[f](R)
