Luke 24:45-53

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

46 and He said to them, "²Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and ³rise again from the dead the third day,

47 and that ⁴repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to ⁵all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 "You are ⁶witnesses of these things.

49 "And behold, ⁷I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but ⁸you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

The Ascension

50 And He led them out as far as ⁹Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually * in the temple praising God.
