Lucas 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 ) .

Lucas 24:48 In-Context

46 e disse-lhes: Assim está escrito que o Cristo padecesse, e ao terceiro dia ressurgisse dentre os mortos;
47 e que em seu nome se pregasse o arrependimento para remissão dos pecados, a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.
48 Vós sois testemunhas destas coisas.
49 E eis que sobre vós envio a promessa de meu Pai; ficai porém, na cidade, até que do alto sejais revestidos de poder.
50 Então os levou fora, até Betânia; e levantando as mãos, os abençoou.
