“Repentance And Remission” “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
Luke 24:47. THIS verse is among our Lord’s last words to His disciples just before He left them to return to Heaven.
Luke 24:44-48
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

Love, Walter and Debbie
Amen , I like to look at the contemporary verses also each seems to add detail
so how would this be accomplished ?
“And
this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
so in Matthew we see the great commission pointing to the right doctrine
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20
in mark we see the result of what’s going to happen to the people as the witness gospel spreads through the world
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that
believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
and the luke explains the law and prophets were fulfilled in the gospel they were foretelling Jesus and his word of life that
calls sinners to repentance and remits thier sins
“and said unto them,
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem. And
ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:46-48 KJV
Then acts continuing the story of Luke
“But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”
Acts 1:8-9
this is actually recorded in mark owing how they overlap and make a unified story with several witnesses
“So then
after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.”
Mark 16:19 KJV
what I’m saying is if we study the gospel looking at all the accounts it offers better understanding they aren’t opposing views but each offers a different perspective and catches different details
Matthew noticed different things than John , mark , and then the witnesses of Luke’s account and each of those accounts adds details mark didnt record
This is why we have four accounts of the gospel , three which are focused on the same perspectives
“But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.”
Matthew 18:16
to let the gospel accounts blend together offers a clearer and better picture is all I mean to say going from your wonderful post here we can go also to marks account , Matthew account , the book of acts ect and see the beginning of the great commission start to in fold in the acts of the apostles
this then makes the epistles invaluable because it means we finally start grasping what they are saying having first heard the gospel
