In biblical times, a name represented the essence and authority of a person. This phrase emphasizes that the message of repentance and forgiveness is proclaimed under the authority of Jesus, who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>). It also reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah, who would bring salvation (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a>).repentance and forgiveness of sins Repentance involves a sincere turning away from sin and turning towards God. It is a central theme in the teachings of both John the Baptist (<a href="/matthew/3-2.htm">Matthew 3:2</a>) and Jesus (<a href="/mark/1-15.htm">Mark 1:15</a>). Forgiveness of sins is a core aspect of the New Covenant, promised in <a href="/jeremiah/31-34.htm">Jeremiah 31:34</a>, where God declares He will forgive iniquity and remember sin no more.

This proclamation is not just a suggestion but a command, reflecting the urgency and importance of sharing the message of salvation with the world.to all nations The inclusion of "all nations" signifies the universal scope of the Gospel. This fulfills the Abrahamic promise that all nations would be blessed through his seed (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). It also reflects the breaking down of ethnic and cultural barriers, as seen in the early church's mission to the Gentiles (<a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a>). The global mission is a testament to God's love for all humanity and His desire for all to come to repentance (<a href="/2_peter/3-9.htm">2 Peter 3:9</a>).beginning in Jerusalem Jerusalem holds significant historical and theological importance as the city where Jesus was crucified and resurrected. It is the birthplace of the church, where the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost (Acts 2). The choice of Jerusalem as the starting point fulfills the prophecy in <a href="/isaiah/2-3.htm">Isaiah 2:3</a>, where the word of the Lord is said to go forth from Jerusalem. This starting point also underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan, beginning with the Jews and extending to the Gentiles (<a href="/romans/1-16.htm">Romans 1:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The risen Lord who is speaking to His disciples, commissioning them to spread the message of repentance and forgiveness. 2. <a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a> The followers of Jesus who are being instructed to proclaim the message to all nations. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The starting point for the proclamation of the Gospel, significant as the city where Jesus was crucified and resurrected. 4. <a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a> Refers to all ethnic groups and peoples, indicating the universal scope of the Gospel message. 5. <a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_forgiveness.htm">Repentance and Forgiveness</a> Central themes of the Gospel message, emphasizing a change of heart and the remission of sins through Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_universality_of_the_gospel.htm">The Universality of the Gospel</a> The message of repentance and forgiveness is for all nations, highlighting the inclusive nature of God's salvation plan. <a href="/topical/t/the_centrality_of_repentance.htm">The Centrality of Repentance</a> True repentance involves a heartfelt turning away from sin and turning towards God, which is essential for receiving forgiveness. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_believer.htm">The Role of the Believer</a> As followers of Christ, we are called to be active participants in spreading the Gospel, starting in our own "Jerusalem" and reaching out to the world. <a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_jesus'_name.htm">The Power of Jesus' Name</a> The authority and power to forgive sins are found in the name of Jesus, underscoring the importance of His role in salvation. <a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a> Obeying Christ's command to proclaim the Gospel is a vital aspect of discipleship and reflects our love and commitment to Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_luke_24.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Luke 24</a> <a href="/q/how_does_work_show_faith_and_diligence.htm">Have you turned away from sin and sought forgiveness?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_the_remission_of_sin.htm">What is the remission of sin?</a> <a href="/q/have_you_repented_and_sought_forgiveness.htm">Have you turned away from sin and sought forgiveness?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_a_sin_tax.htm">What is a sin tax?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/24.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(47) And that repentance and remission of sins . . .--Here also we have a point of contact with St. John's narrative. Though St. Luke did not know the special form in which the commission had been given, he had, at least, learnt that forgiveness of sins had occupied a prominent place in what had been said on that evening, and that that forgiveness was not limited to the children of Abraham.Beginning at Jerusalem.--There is a manifest break and condensation of the narrative at this point. St. Luke has no personal reminiscences. The second appearance, when Thomas was present, those on the mountain or by the lake in Galilee, are unrecorded by him, and were probably not known. He has before him the plan of his second book, and he is content to end his first with what will serve as a link leading on to it. Assuming his chief informants to have been, not the disciples, but the company of devout women, we have a natural explanation of this comparative vagueness. In <a href="/acts/1-8.htm" title="But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.">Acts 1:8</a>, words that closely resemble these are placed at the end of the forty days, which are there distinctly recognised.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 47. - And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his Name among all nations.
