Luke 24:45-53

45 Then ¹he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46 and said to them, "Thus ²it is written, ³that the Christ should suffer and on the third day ⁴rise from the dead,

47 and that ⁵repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ⁶in his name ⁷to all nations, ⁸beginning from Jerusalem.

48 ⁹You are witnesses of these things.

49 And behold, I am sending ¹⁰the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ¹¹are clothed with ¹²power ¹³from on high."

50 Then ¹⁴he led them out as far as ¹⁵Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.

51 While he blessed them, ¹⁶he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

52 And they ¹⁷worshiped him and ¹⁸returned to Jerusalem ¹⁹with great joy,

53 and ²⁰were continually in the temple ²¹blessing God.
