< Mark 16 >

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, in order to go and anoint Jesus.
2 And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun.
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And they said to one another, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb?
And they were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 And looking up they see that the stone had been rolled back; for it was very large.
(because it was very large), but when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away!
5 And they entered the tomb, and saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
Upon entering the tomb they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 But he saith to them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified; he hath risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him.
But he said to them: “Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Natsarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He isn't here! See, the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he is going before you into Galilee; there ye will see him, as he said to you.
But go, tell His disciples, also Peter: ‘He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.’”
8 And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and amazement had seized them, and they said nothing to any one; for they were terrified.
Trembling and bewildered they went out and fled from the tomb; and they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) (The remaining twelve verses, according to Tischendorf and others, made originally no part of Mark's Gospel. As the passage was added very early, however, since it is referred to by Irenaeus in the latter part of the second century, it is here given, as an appendix.) [[And having risen early, on the first day of the week, he 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.) Having risen early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.
10 She went and reported it to those who had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.
She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.
11 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe.
When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
12 After this, he manifested himself in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country.
After these things He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking, going into the country.
13 And they went and reported it to the rest; and even them they did not believe.
So they returned and reported to the rest; neither did they believe them.
14 Afterward he manifested himself to the eleven themselves, as they were reclining at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
Later He appeared to the eleven as they were reclining at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to the whole creation.
Then He said to them: “Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation.
16 He that believeth and is baptized will be saved; but he that doth not believe will be condemned.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany believers: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
they will remove ‘snakes’; and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them at all; they will lay hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 So then, the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God;
So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at God's right.
20 and they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs which followed it.]]
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the message by the accompanying signs. Amen.
