Gospel: Luke 4:1–13
44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you:
Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the
Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened their minds so they could
understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ
will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance and
forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you
what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed
with power from on high.” 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of
Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing
them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him
and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at
the temple, praising God.
