Mark 16
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.
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 So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came 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 and they were saying to one another, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulcher?
4 But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.
(And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away) for it was very great.
5 Upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at their right hand, clothed in a long white robe. They were astonished and terrified.
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 terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for--the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this 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 tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee: and that 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 So they came out, and fled from the tomb, for they were greatly agitated and surprised; and they said not a word to any one, for they were afraid.
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.) [But He rose to life early on the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had expelled 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 brought the tidings to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.
[And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 But they, when they were told that He was alive and that she had seen Him, could not believe it.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, believed not.
12 Afterwards He showed Himself in another form 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 These, again, went and told the news to the rest; but not even them did they believe.
And they went and told [it] to the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Later still He showed Himself to the Eleven themselves whilst they were at table, and He upbraided them with their unbelief and obstinacy in not having believed those who had seen Him alive.
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 the whole world over, and proclaim the Good News to all mankind.
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 shall be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And signs shall attend those who believe, even such as these. By making use of my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak 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 shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and the sick shall 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 having thus spoken to them 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 But they went out and made proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their Message by the signs which accompanied it.]
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
