LUKE 24 : 46 - 53
And he said, "Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah must suffer and die and rise again from the dead on the third day; and that this message of salvation should be taken from Jerusalem to all the nations: There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me. You have seen these prophecies come true. "And now I will send the Holy Spirit upon you, just as my Father promised. Don't begin telling others yet, stay here on the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven."
Then Jesus led them out along the road to Bethany, and lifting his hands to heaven, he blessed them, and then began rising into the sky, and went on to heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem filled with mighty joy , and were continually in the temple, praising God.
