Amplified Bible

Luke 24:44-53 Amplified Bible (AMP)

44. Then He said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: everything which is written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.

45. Then He [thoroughly] opened up their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46. And said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer and on the third day rise from (among) the dead, [Hos. 6:2.]

47. And that repentance [with a view to and as the condition of] forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48. You are witnesses of these things.

49. And behold, I will send forth upon you what My Father has promised; but remain in the city [Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from on high.

50. Then He conducted them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up His hands, He invoked a blessing on them.

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

52. And they, worshiping Him, went back to Jerusalem with great joy;

53. And they were continually in the temple celebrating with praises and blessing and extolling God. Amen (so be it).
