has made him the head over all things
for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills

fulfilled.”
Then
he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, “Thus it is written, that
the Messiah is to suffer and to
rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in
his name to all nations, beginning from
And
see, I am sending upon you what my Father promised, so stay here in the city until you
have been clothed with power from
on high.” Then he led them out as
far as
