Luke 24:33

24:33 So ¹  they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. ²  They ³  found the eleven and those with them gathered together

Luke 24:49

24:49 And look, I am sending you ⁴  what my Father promised. ⁵  But stay in the city ⁶  until you have been clothed with power ⁷  from on high.”

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the Lord’s appearance to them.

² map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ tn Grk “sending on you.”

⁵ tn Grk “the promise of my Father,” with τοῦ πατρός (tou patros) translated as a subjective genitive. This is a reference to the Holy Spirit and looks back to how one could see Messiah had come with the promise of old (Luke 3:15-18). The promise is rooted in Jer 31:31 and Ezek 36:26.

⁶ sn The city refers to Jerusalem.

⁷ sn Until you have been clothed with power refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. What the Spirit supplies is enablement. See Luke 12:11-12; 21:12-15. The difference the Spirit makes can be seen in Peter (compare Luke 22:54-62 with Acts 2:14-41).
