3 They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
And they were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
(because it was very large), but when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away!
5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.
Upon entering the tomb they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Look, the place where they put him.
But he said to them: “Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Natsarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He isn't here! See, the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"
But go, tell His disciples, also Peter: ‘He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.’”
8 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.
Trembling and bewildered they went out and fled from the tomb; and they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9 (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.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Having risen early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.
When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
12 And after these things he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked on their way into the country.
After these things He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking, going into the country.
13 And they went away and told it to the rest. They did not believe them, either.
So they returned and reported to the rest; neither did they believe them.
14 Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they were reclining, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
Later He appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Then He said to them: “Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
18 they will pick up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick, and they will be made well."
they will remove ‘snakes’; and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them at all; they will lay hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had 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 down at God's right.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message by the signs that followed.
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message by the accompanying signs. Amen.
