44Then he said to them, “ I will repeat what I told you while I was still with you: Everything that was written about me by Moses and the other prophets MTY and in the Psalms must be fulfilled!”
45Then he enabled them to understand the things that had been written about him in the Scriptures.
46He said to them, “This is what they wrote: That the Messiah would suffer and die, but on the third day after that he would become alive again.
47They also wrote that the message must be preached { that his disciples must preach the message} everywhere that people must turn from their sinful ways for God to forgive their sins. They wrote that his followers should preach that message, claiming his authority MTY. They wrote that they should start preaching it in Jerusalem, and then go and preach it to all ethnic groups.
48You apostles must tell people that you know that those things that happened to me are true.
49And I want you to know that I will send the Holy Spirit MTY to you, as my Father promised that he would do. But you must stay in this city until God fills you with the power of his Spirit.”
50Then Jesus led them outside the city until they came near Bethany village. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
