Luke 24:47
45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
46 And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
