44 Then he said to them, ^p“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of ^qMoses and the ^rProphets and the ^sPsalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he ^topened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is ^uwritten, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for¹ the forgiveness of sins should be ^vproclaimed in his name to all nations, ^wbeginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are ^xwitnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am ^ysending the ^zpromise of my Father upon you. But ^astay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
