46and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. 49And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” 50Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

Commentaries on Luke 24:48

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 48Ye are witnesses of these things - He gave them a full commission to proclaim these glad tidings of peace and salvation to a lost world.
