Mark 16
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus.
When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, in order to come and anoint His body.
2 And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen.
So, very soon after sunrise on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb;
3 And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
and they were saying to one another, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
4 And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great.
But then, looking up, they saw that the stone was already rolled back: for it was of immense size.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe: and they were astonished.
Upon entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at their right hand, clothed in a long white robe. They were astonished and terrified.
6 Who saith to them: Be not affrighted; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen, he is not here, behold the place where they laid him.
But he said to them, "Do not be terrified. It is Jesus you are looking for--the Nazarene who has been crucified. He has come back to life: He is not here: this is the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.
But go and tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you into Galilee: and that there you will see Him, as He told you."
8 But they going out, fled from the sepulchre. For a trembling and fear had seized them: and they said nothing to any man; for they were afraid.
So they came out, and fled from the tomb, for they were greatly agitated and surprised; and they said not a word to any one, for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [But He rose to life early on the first day of the week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom He had expelled seven demons.
10 She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.
She went and brought the tidings to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.
11 And they hearing that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe.
But they, when they were told that He was alive and that she had seen Him, could not believe it.
12 And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.
Afterwards He showed Himself in another form to two of them as they were walking, on their way into the country.
13 And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe them.
These, again, went and told the news to the rest; but not even them did they believe.
14 At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.
Later still He showed Himself to the Eleven themselves whilst they were at table, and He upbraided them with their unbelief and obstinacy in not having believed those who had seen Him alive.
15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Then He said to them, "Go the whole world over, and proclaim the Good News to all mankind.
16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.
And signs shall attend those who believe, even such as these. By making use of my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak new languages.
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.
They shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover."
19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God.
So the Lord Jesus after having thus spoken to them was taken up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.
But they went out and made proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their Message by the signs which accompanied it.]
