Luke 24:40-50

40 And when he had said this, ¹he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they still disbelieved ²for joy and were marveling, ³he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat? ”

42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, ^[a]

43 and he took it and ate before them.

44 Then he said to them, ⁴“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, ⁵that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. ”

45 Then ⁶he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46 and said to them, “Thus ⁷it is written, ⁸that the Christ should suffer and on the third day ⁹rise from the dead,

47 and that ¹⁰repentance and^[b] forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed ¹¹in his name ¹²to all nations, ¹³beginning from Jerusalem.

48 ¹⁴You are witnesses of these things.

49 And behold, I am sending ¹⁵the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you ¹⁶are clothed with ¹⁷power ¹⁸from on high. ”

The Ascension

50 Then ¹⁹he led them out as far as ²⁰Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
