⁴⁴ He said to them, “·Remember [^LThis is what I said….] when I was with you before? I said that everything written about me must ·happen [be fulfilled]—everything in the law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms [^Ca way of referring to the whole Old Testament; see v. 27].”

⁴⁵ Then Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶ He said to them, “It is written that the ·Christ [Messiah] would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day ⁴⁷ and that ·a change of hearts and lives and [^Lrepentance for the] forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, starting at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ [^LAnd look/^Tbehold] I will send you what my Father has promised, but you must stay in ·Jerusalem [^Lthe city] until you ·have received [^Lare clothed with] that power from ·heaven [^Lon high].”
