< 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 day was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices that they might come and anoint Jesus' body.
2 and early in the morning of the first [day] of the weeks, they come to the tomb, 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 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 to the tomb?”
4 And having looked, they see that the stone has been 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 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.
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 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!
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 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, 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 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 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.) 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.) 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 she having gone, told those who had been with Him, mourning and weeping;
She went and told those who were with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11 and they, having heard that He is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
They heard that he was alive and that he had been seen by her, but they did not believe.
12 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, He appeared in another form,
After these things he appeared in a different form to two of them, as they were walking out into the country.
13 and they having gone, told [it] to the rest; not even them did they believe.
They went and told the rest of the disciples, but they did not believe 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;
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 to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the entire 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 will be saved, and he who does not 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;
These signs will go with those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons. They will speak in 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 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 The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to 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, having gone forth, preached everywhere, the LORD working with [them], and confirming the word, through the 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.
