< 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.
Καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου, ἡ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ, καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου, καὶ Σαλώμη, ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα, ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.
Καὶ λίαν πρωῒ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων, ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου.
3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”
Καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτάς, “Τίς ἀποκυλίσει ἡμῖν τὸν λίθον ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου;”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
Καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν ὅτι ἀποκεκύλισται ὁ λίθος, ἦν γὰρ μέγας σφόδρα.
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.
Καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, εἶδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, περιβεβλημένον στολὴν λευκήν, καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν.
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.
Ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐταῖς, “Μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε. ˚Ἰησοῦν ζητεῖτε τὸν Ναζαρηνὸν, τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον. Ἠγέρθη! Οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε· ἴδε, ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
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.’”
Ἀλλὰ ὑπάγετε, εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ, ὅτι ‘Προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε, καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν.’”
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.
Καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι, ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου, εἶχεν γὰρ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις, καὶ οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπον, ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.
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.
