And he said unto them, "These are my words which I spake unto you, while I
was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are
written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning
me."
Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
and he said unto them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should
suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance
and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the
nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Ye are witnesses of these things. And
behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in
the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high."
And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted
up his hands, and blessed them.
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was
carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to
Jerusalem with great joy: and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
