45

46

47
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48

49
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

51

52
And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53
and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.
