Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples

44 And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms." 45 Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 and said unto them, "Thus is it written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from death the third day. 47 And that repentance, and remission of sins, should be preached in his name among all nations. And must begin at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I will send the promise of my father upon you. But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
