Luke 24:44-49 - Jesus Commissions His Disciples

⁴⁴ And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me." ⁴⁵ Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead; ⁴⁷ and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ You are witnesses as to these things. ⁴⁹ And remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
