Context of Luke 24:47

45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46He said to them, “Scripture says that the Messiah would suffer and that he would come back to life on the third day. Scripture also says that by the authority of Jesus people would be told to turn to God and change the way they think and act so that their sins will be forgiven. This would be told to people from all nations, beginning in the city of Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses to these things. 49“I’m sending you what my Father promised. Wait here in the city until you receive power from heaven.”
