Jesus Ascends (2 of 2)

44 Then he said to them, ''These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.'' 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, ''Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the ...
