46 He told them:The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer, then three days later he will rise from death.
47 They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem,
48 you must tell everything that has happened.
49 I will send you the one my Father has promised, but you must stay in the city until you are given power from heaven.
50 Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them.
51 As he was doing this, he left and was taken up to heaven.
52 After his disciples had worshipped him, they returned to Jerusalem and were very happy.
