Luke 24:45-53

45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,

46 and said to them, "Thus it is written [that] the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

47 and repentance and the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses of these [things].

49 And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

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

51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

52 And they worshiped him [and] returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

53 And they were {continually} in the temple [courts] praising God.
