Luke 24:42-53 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

42. So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43. and he took it and ate it in front of them.

44. And he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”

45. Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,

46. and said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,

47. and repentance and the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48. You are witnesses of these things.

49. And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50. And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

51. And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

52. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

53. And they were continually in the temple courts praising God.
