Luke 23-24

Luke 24: 44-49
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.  Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,  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.   And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

This is Luke's version of the "Great Commission" .  Jesus tells the disciples that all that He had told them during their 3 and half years of training had been fullfilled.  Then He gave them understanding of the scriptures.  Then He told them to go wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.  And after that, go get busy fishing for men.  "Make Disciples"
