New Testament

Luke 24:46-53 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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

47. and that repentance for 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 forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

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

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

52. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53. and were continually in the temple praising God.
