Luke 24:47

45 And ^aHe opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

46 Then He said to them, ^a“Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

47 and that repentance and ^aremission of sins should be preached in His name ^bto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And ^ayou are witnesses of these things.

49 ^aBehold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city¹ of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

The Ascension

50 And He led them out ^aas far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 24:46

Luke 24:48 >>

Beginning at Jerusalem - This was appointed most graciously and wisely: graciously, as it encouraged the, greatest sinners to repent, when they saw that even the murderers of Christ were not excepted from mercy: and wisely, as hereby Christianity was more abundantly attested; the facts being published first on the very spot where they happened.
