46and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise from among the dead the third day; 47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but do ye remain in the city till ye be clothed with power from on high. 50And he led them out as far as Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he blessed them.
