nl y 76 LESSON 9 (Jesus Appears to the Chosen and Ascends to Heaven) ev Luke 24:45-48 (adapted) ie w O After His resurrection Jesus appeared to His disciples and opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day. Repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. He then led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He was taken up into heaven. They worshipped Him and went on their way with great joy."
