Luke 24:47-53 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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).
