44Then he said to them, “These are my words that I

spoke to you while I was still with you—that

everything written about me in the law of Moses,

the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then he opened their minds to understand the

scriptures, 46and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the

Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on

the third day, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to

be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning

from Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49And see, I am sending upon you what my Father

promised; so stay here in the city until you have

been clothed with power from on high.” 50Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and,

lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 51While he was blessing them, he withdrew from

them and was carried up into heaven. 52And they worshiped him, and returned to

Jerusalem with great joy; 53and they were continually in the temple blessing

God.
