< Mark 16 >

1 And the Sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint Him,
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him.
2 and early in the morning of the first [day] of the weeks, they come to the tomb, at the rising of the sun,
And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.
3 and they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone out of the door of the tomb for us?”
And they were saying among themselves, Who will get the stone rolled away from the door for us?
4 And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away—for it was very great,
And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size.
5 and having entered into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, clothed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.
And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder.
6 And he says to them, “Do not be amazed, you seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified [One]: He rose—He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him!
And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!
7 And go, say to His disciples and Peter that He goes before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
But go, say to his disciples and to Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he said to you.
8 And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and they said to no one anything, for they were afraid. [[
And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that ...
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) And He, having risen in the morning of the first of the week, appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons;
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.
10 she having gone, told those who had been with Him, mourning and weeping;
She went and gave news of it to those who had been with him, while they were sorrowing and weeping.
11 and they, having heard that He is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.
12 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, He appeared in another form,
And after these things he was seen in another form by two of them, while they were walking on their way into the country.
13 and they having gone, told [it] to the rest; not even them did they believe.
And they went away and gave news of it to the rest; and they had no belief in what was said.
14 Afterward, as they are reclining, He appeared to the Eleven, and reproached their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him being raised;
And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.
15 and He said to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
And he said to them, Go into all the world, and give the good news to everyone.
16 he who has believed and has been immersed will be saved; and he who has not believed will be condemned.
He who has faith and is given baptism will get salvation; but he who has not faith will be judged.
17 And signs will accompany those believing these things: they will cast out demons in My Name; they will speak with new tongues;
And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they may drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the ailing, and they will be well.”
They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.
19 The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
20 and they, having gone forth, preached everywhere, the LORD working with [them], and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.]]
And they went out, preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, and giving witness to the word by the signs which came after. So be it.
