Luke 24:46–53
46He said to them,“Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,↗
47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.↗
48You are witnesses of these things.↗
49Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”↗
50He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.↗
51While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.↗
52They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,↗
53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.↗
