Luke 24:46-47
And He said to them, Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise up from the dead on the third day, and that repentance for ¹forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

    47¹ Forgiveness of sins could be proclaimed only after the Man-Savior's vicarious death for the sinners' sins had been accomplished and had been verified by His resurrection (v. 46; cf. Rom. 4:25).
