< Mark 16 >
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that having come, they might anoint him.
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 And very much early morning on the first day of the week, they come near to the sepulcher when the sun was risen.
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the tomb at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher?
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?
4 And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled back, for it was very large.
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And having entered into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.
And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.
And he says unto them, Be not affrighted: All of you seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he has risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee. Ye will see him there, just as he said to you.
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall all of you see him, as he said unto you.
8 And having come out, they fled from the sepulcher, and trembling and astonishment seized them. And they said nothing to any man, for they were afraid.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the tomb; 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.) Now having risen early morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
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 devils.
10 That woman, having gone, informed those who became with him, as they mourned and wept.
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And those men, when they heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 And after these things he appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked going into the countryside.
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 And those men having departed, they reported to the others. Neither did they believe those men.
And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he became visible to them, to the eleven, who were relaxing. And he upbraided their unbelief and hard heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he was raised.
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at food, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said to them, Having gone into all the world, preach ye the good news to the whole creation.
And he said unto them, Go all of you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He who believes and is immersed will be saved, but he who does not believe will be damned.
He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons. They will speak in new tongues.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will, no, not harm them. They will lay hands on the feeble, and they will fare 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 Therefore indeed, the Lord, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And those men, having gone forth, they preached everywhere, the Lord working jointly, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Truly.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word (logos) with signs following. Amen.
