44 and he said to them, These be the words that I spake to you, when I was yet with you; for it is need(ful) that all things be fulfilled, that be written in the law of Moses, and in (the) prophets, and in (the) psalms, of me (or about me).
45 Then he opened to them wit, that they should understand the scriptures. (Then he opened their minds, or their thinking, so that they could understand the Scriptures.)
46 And he said to them, For thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer (or and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer), and rise again from death the third day or and rise again from (the) dead the third day;
47 and penance, and remission of sins to be preached in his name to all folks, beginning at Jerusalem. (and repentance, and forgiveness of sins to be preached in his name to all the nations and all the peoples, beginning at Jerusalem.)
48 And ye be (the) witnesses of these things.
49 And I shall send the promise of my Father into you; but sit ye in the city, till ye be clothed with virtue from on high, (or but remain in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high).
50 And he led them forth into Bethany, and when his hands were lifted up, he blessed them.
