Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples
44 And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, to understand the writings, 46 And he said to them, That so has it been written, and so was it necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And repentance and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And, behold, I send the solemn promise of my Father upon you: and do ye sit in the city of Jerusalem, till ye be clothed with power from on high.
