Mark 16
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some spices, so that they might 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 they went to the tomb, after sunrise.
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 saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us 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, on looking up, they saw that the stone had already been rolled back; it was a very large one.
(And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away) for it was very great.
5 Going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on their right, in a white robe, and they were dismayed; but he said to them,
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 “Do not be dismayed; you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified; he has risen, he is not here! Look! Here is the place where they laid 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, and say to his disciples and to Peter ‘He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, 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 They went out, and fled from the tomb, for they were trembling and bewildered; and they did not say a word to anyone, for they were frightened.
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.) After his rising again, early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first of all to Mary of Magdala, 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 the news to those who had been with him and who were now in sorrow and tears;
[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 yet even they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe it.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, believed not.
12 Afterward, altered in appearance, he made himself known to two of them, as they were walking, on their way into the country.
After that, he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking and going into the country.
13 They also went and told the rest, but they did not believe even them.
And they went and told [it] to the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Later on, he made himself known to the Eleven themselves as they were at a meal, and reproached them with their want of faith and their stubbornness, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead.
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 Then he said to them, “Go into all the world, and proclaim the good news to all creation.
And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who refuses to believe will be condemned.
He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 Moreover these signs will attend those who believe. In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
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 take up snakes in their hands; and, if they drink any poison, it will not hurt them; they will place their hands on sick people and they will recover.”
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 So the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat 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 But they set out, and made the proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the signs which attended it. But all that had been revealed to them they reported briefly to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
