The Book of Luke, Chapter 24, Verse 53

And he took [it], and did eat before them.

And he said unto them, ‹These› [are] ‹the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and› [in] ‹the prophets, and› [in] ‹the psalms, concerning me.›

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

And said unto them, ‹Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:›

‹And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.›

‹And ye are witnesses of these things.›

‹And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.›

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
