< Mark 16 >

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.
And very early in the morning, the first [day] of the week, they came to the sepulcher at the rising of the sun:
3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulcher?
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
(And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away) for it was very great.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were frightened.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
And he saith to them, Be not frightened: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him:
7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you.
8 So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled, and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when [Jesus] was risen early, the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.
[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, believed not.
12 After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.
After that, he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking and going into the country.
13 And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
And they went and told [it] to the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
Afterward he appeared to the eleven, as they sat at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief, and hardness of heart, because they believed not them who had seen him after he was risen.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak in new languages;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
