Jesus commanded the disciples to not depart from Jerusalem. It would soon be the birth of the church!
"And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." - Acts 1:4-5
...Jesus opened the understanding of His disciples so that they would understand the gospel – the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus – and how to obey the gospel – repentance, remission of sins by water baptism in Jesus name, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is the power from on high. It would begin at Jerusalem, when the church first began.
"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." - Luke 24:45-49
Peter preached how to obey the gospel:
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38
