Mark 16
1 Once the Sabbath had ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic ointments so that they could go and anoint Jesus' body.
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices in order to go and anoint him.
2 Very early Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.
And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb as the sun was rising;
3 They were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”
and they kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?"
4 But when they arrived and looked, they saw that the very large, heavy stone had already been rolled away.
But then as they looked up they saw that the stone, which was a very large one, was already rolled away;
5 When they went into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a long white robe. They became very frightened.
and upon entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe.
6 “Don't be frightened,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the one who was crucified. He is risen from the dead. He is not here.
They were terrified, but he said to them. "Do not be terrified! You are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified? He is risen; he is not here. See, the place where they laid him!
7 Look, this is the place where they laid him to rest. Now go, and tell his disciples and Peter that he's going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there just as he told you.”
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, "‘He is going before you into Galilee, where you will see him, as he told you.’"
8 They left and ran from the tomb, shaking and confused. They said nothing to anyone because they were too scared.
So they went out, and ran from the tomb, for they were trembling and amazed; 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.) When Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday morning, he appeared first of all to Mary Magdalene, from whom he'd driven out seven demons.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now after his resurrection, early on the first day of the week 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 as they mourned and cried.
She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they didn't believe it.
But they, although they heard that he was living and had been seen by her did not believe it.
12 Later Jesus appeared in a different form to two other disciples who'd left to go to the countryside.
After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking on their way into the country.
13 They returned and told the others, but they didn't believe them either.
They too went, and told the others; but they did not believe them, either.
14 After this he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating. He rebuked them for their lack of trust and their stubbornness, because they had not believed those who'd seen him after he had risen.
Afterward he appeared to the Eleven themselves, as they were eating, and reproached them for their lack of faith, and stubborn hearts, because they disbelieved those who had seen him risen.
15 Then he told them, “Go to the whole world, and announce the good news to everyone.
And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
16 Anyone who trusts in me and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who chooses not to trust will be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who disbelieves shall be condemned.
17 The following signs will accompany those who trust in me: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak new languages;
Moreover these signs shall follow those who believe. They shall drive out demons in my name; they shall speak with new tongues in foreign languages;
18 they will be able to handle snakes; if they drink something poisonous they won't be harmed; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be healed.”
they shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any poison it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."
19 Then, the Lord Jesus, when he had finished speaking to them, was taken up into heaven where he sat down at the right hand of God.
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.
20 The disciples went out and spread the good news everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, confirming the message through miraculous signs that accompanied it.
But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.
