Luc 24:48 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:48

And ye are witnesses of these things.
] As they were witnesses of the truth of his humanity, having seen, and heard, and handled him, both before, and after his resurrection from the dead, and of all that he did, of all the miracles that he wrought in Jerusalem, Judea, and Galilee, and of his transfiguration on the mount; so likewise of his sorrows in the garden, and of his sufferings in the palace of the high priest, and in Pilate's hall, and on the cross; and of his death, which was the death of the cross; and also of his resurrection from the dead, in the same body, to whom he showed himself alive by many infallible proofs; by showing them the print of the nails in his hands and feet; by being handled by them; by eating and drinking in their presence; and by conversing with them for the space of forty days: and their business was also to testify the doctrine of repentance, and remission of sins, in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth, which they accordingly did; see ( Acts 1:8 ) ( Acts 2:32 Acts 2:30-32 ) ( Acts 10:39 Acts 10:41 ) ( 20:21 ) .

Luc 24:48 In-Context

46 Et il leur dit: Ainsi est-il écrit, et ainsi fallait-il que le Christ souffrît, et qu'il ressuscitât des morts le troisième jour,
47 Et qu'on prêchât en son nom la repentance et la rémission des péchés, parmi toutes les nations, en commençant par Jérusalem.
48 Or, vous êtes les témoins de ces choses; et voici, je vais vous envoyer ce que mon Père a promis.
49 Pour vous, demeurez dans la ville de Jérusalem, jusqu'à ce que vous soyez revêtus de la vertu d'en haut.
50 Il les mena ensuite dehors jusqu'à Béthanie; puis, élevant ses mains, il les bénit.
