Mark 16
1 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.
When the Sabbath day was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices that they might come and anoint Jesus' body.
2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Very early on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb when the sun came up.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, for it was very large.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
They entered the tomb and saw a young man dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
He said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. Look at the place where they had laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'”
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid.
They went out and ran from the tomb; they were trembling and amazed. They said nothing to anyone because they were so afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) 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.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Early on the first day of the week, after he arose, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 [And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
She went and told those who were with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
They heard that he was alive and that he had been seen by her, but they did not believe.
12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
After these things he appeared in a different form to two of them, as they were walking out into the country.
13 And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they them.
They went and told the rest of the disciples, but they did not believe them.
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Jesus later appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he rose from the dead.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the entire creation.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved, and he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
These signs will go with those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.
18 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.
They will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.”
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
After the Lord had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
The disciples left and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the signs that went with them.
