1 And when the Sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices, so that when they arrived they could anoint Jesus.
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning, on the first of the Sabbaths, they went to the tomb, the sun having now risen.
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And they said to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us, away from the entrance of the tomb?”
They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 And looking, they saw that the stone was rolled back. For certainly it was very large.
for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
5 And upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, covered with a white robe, and they were astonished.
Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
6 And he said to them, “Do not become frightened. You are seeking Jesus of Nazareth, the Crucified One. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.
He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you into Galilee. There you shall see him, just as he told you.”
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”
8 But they, going out, fled from the tomb. For trembling and fear had overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone. For they were afraid.
They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) But he, rising early on the first Sabbath, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 She went and announced it to those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And they, upon hearing that he was alive and that he had been seen by her, did not believe it.
When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.
12 But after these events, he was shown in another likeness to two of them walking, as they were going out to the countryside.
After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country.
13 And they, returning, reported it to the others; neither did they believe them.
They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.
14 Finally, he appeared to the eleven, as they sat at table. And he rebuked them for their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen that he had risen again.
Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 And he said to them: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.
16 Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
17 Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
18 They will take up serpents, and, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”
they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 And indeed, the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God.
So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 Then they, setting out, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.
They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
