45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46 He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,
47 and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And look, I am sending you what My Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.”
50 Then He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands He blessed them.
51 And while He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.
