Mark 16
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.
And the Sabbath passing away, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, prepared aromatics, in order that having come they may anoint Him.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.
And exceedingly early in the morning, the first of the Sabbaths, they come to the sepulcher, the sun approaching the horizon.
3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”
And they were saying to themselves, Who shall for us roll away the stone from the sepulcher?
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
And looking up, they see that the stone has already been rolled away: for it was exceedingly great.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
And having come to the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe. And they were affrighted.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
But he says to them, Fear not: you are seeking Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified: He is risen; He is not here: see the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”
But go, tell His disciples and Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee: you shall see Him there, as He told you.
8 So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.
And having come out from the sepulcher, they fled; and trembling and ecstasy possessed them, and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.
11 And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.
12 After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.
13 And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14 Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for 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 preach the gospel to every creature.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
