New Testament

Luke 24:42-53 Modern English Version (MEV)

42. They gave Him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb.

43. And He took it and ate it before them.

44. He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms concerning Me.”

45. Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46. He said to them, “Thus it is written, and accordingly it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

47. and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48. You are witnesses of these things.

49. And look, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50. Then He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51. While He blessed them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

52. Then they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53. and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
