Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples
44 He said: These are my words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you. All things must be fulfilled. They are things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning me. 45 He opened their minds that they might understand the scriptures. 46 He said: It is written that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day. 47 Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 You see I send the promise of my Father upon you. You are to wait in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.
