< Mark 16 >
1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices in order to go and anoint him.
And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalena, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought aromatics, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb as the sun was rising;
And in the morning of the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre as the sun arose.
3 and they kept saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?"
And they said among them. selves: Who will roll back for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 But then as they looked up they saw that the stone, which was a very large one, was already rolled away;
And they looked, and saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.
5 and upon entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe.
And entering the sepulchre, they saw a youth sitting on the right hand, and clothed in a white robe: and they were in perturbation.
6 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!
But he said to them: Be not affrighted. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold the place where he was laid.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, "‘He is going before you into Galilee, where you will see him, as he told you.’"
But go, tell his disciples and Cephas: Lo, he precedeth you into Galilee; there will ye see him, as he said to you.
8 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 -
And when they heard, they fled and left the sepulchre; for astonishment and trembling had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were in fear.
9 (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.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) And in the morning of the first day of the week, he arose; and he appeared first to Mary Magdalena, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
And she went and told them that had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11 But they, although they heard that he was living and had been seen by her did not believe it.
And they, when they heard the women say that he was alive, and that he had appeared to them, did not believe them.
12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking on their way into the country.
After this he appeared, under another aspect, to two of them as they walked and went into the country.
13 They too went, and told the others; but they did not believe them, either.
And these went and told the rest; but they would not believe them
14 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.
And at last, he appeared to the eleven: as they reclined at table; and he reproved the slenderness of their faith, and the hardness of their heart; because they believed not those who had seen him actually risen.
15 And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
And he said to them: Go ye into all the world, and proclaim my tidings in the whole creation.
16 He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who disbelieves shall be condemned.
He that believeth, and is baptized, liveth; but he that believeth not, is condemned.
17 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;
And these signs shall attend them that believe: In my name, they will cast out demons; and in new tongues will they speak.
18 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."
And they will take up serpents; and if they should drink a deadly poison, it will not harm them; and they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.
19 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.
And Jesus, our Lord, after he had conversed with them, ascended to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.
And they went forth, and preached everywhere: and our Lord aided them, and confirmed their discourses by the signs which they wrought. Completion of the Holy Gospels, the announcement of Mark; which he uttered and proclaimed in Latin at Rome.
