Luke 24:49

47 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.

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.”

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

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
