Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfulled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you. But stay ye in the city until ye are clothed with power from on high.
