46and He said to them, “So it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47and that repentance for the removal of sins is to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” 50Then Yeshua led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and 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.
