Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples
44 And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and Prophets, and Psalms, concerning me, must be fully accomplished. 45 Then he opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that a change of mind and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but remain in the city till you are endued with power from on high.
