Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples

⁴⁴ "This is what I told you," he said, "when I was still with you--that everything that had been written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, must be fulfilled." ⁴⁵ Then he enabled them to understand the meaning of the Scriptures, saying to them: ⁴⁶ "Scripture says that the Christ should suffer, and that he should rise again from the dead on the third day, ⁴⁷ And that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed on his authority to all the nations--beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You yourselves are to be witnesses to all this. ⁴⁹ And now I am myself about to send upon you that which my Father has promised. But you must remain in the city until you have been invested with power from above."
