Luke 24:47-53
24:47 and repentance
for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed
in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem.
24:48 You are witnesses
of these things.
24:49 And look, I am sending you
what my Father promised.
But stay in the city
until you have been clothed with power
from on high.”
Jesus’ Departure
24:50 Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
24:51 Now during the blessing he departed and was taken up into heaven.
24:52 So they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
24:53 and were continually in the temple courts blessing God.
