< 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,
When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some spices, so that they might go and anoint the body of Jesus.
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 on the first day of the week they went to the tomb, after sunrise.
3 and they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone out of the door of the tomb for us?”
They were saying to one another: “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away—for it was very great,
But, on looking up, they saw that the stone had already been rolled back; it was a very large one.
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.
Going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on their right, in a white robe, and they were dismayed; but he said to them:
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!
“Do not be dismayed; you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified; he has risen, he is not here! Look! Here is the place where they laid 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, and say to his disciples and to Peter ‘He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as he told 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. [[
They went out, and fled from the tomb, for they were trembling and bewildered; and they did not say a word to any one, for they were frightened;
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.) after his rising again, early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first of all to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had driven out seven demons.
10 she having gone, told those who had been with Him, mourning and weeping;
She went and told the news to those who had been with him and who were now in sorrow and tears;
11 and they, having heard that He is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
yet even they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe it.
12 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, He appeared in another form,
Afterwards, altered in appearance, he made himself known to two of them, as 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.
They also went and told the rest, but they did not believe even them.
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;
Later on, he made himself known to the Eleven themselves as they were at a meal, and reproached them with their want of faith and their stubbornness, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead.
15 and He said to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
Then he said to them: “Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to all creation.
16 he who has believed and has been immersed will be saved; and he who has not believed will be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who refuses to believe will be condemned.
17 And signs will accompany those believing these things: they will cast out demons in My Name; they will speak with new tongues;
Moreover these signs shall attend those who believe. In my Name they shall drive out demons; they shall speak with ‘tongues’;
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 shall take up serpents in their hands; and, if they drink any poison, it shall not hurt them; they will place their hands on sick people and they shall recover.”
19 The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
So the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into Heaven, and sat 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.]]
But they set out, and made the proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Message by the signs which attended it.
