< Mark 16 >
1 And, the Sabbath having passed, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that, coming, they might anoint him.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And, very early, on the first of the week, they are coming towards the tomb—when, the sun, arose.
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the tomb at the rising of the sun.
3 And they were saying one to another—Who, shall roll away for us the stone, out of the door of the tomb?
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?
4 And, looking up, they observe that the stone hath been rolled up, —for it was exceeding great.
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And, entering into the tomb, they saw a young man, sitting on the right, clothed with a white robe, —and they were greatly alarmed.
And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 But, he, saith unto them—Be not alarmed! Jesus, ye are seeking, the Nazarene, the crucified: He hath arisen! he is not here, —See! the place where they laid him!
And he says unto them, Be not affrighted: All of you seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he has risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples, and Peter—He is going before you into Galilee: there, shall ye yourselves see him, —according as he said unto you.
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall all of you see him, as he said unto you.
8 And, going out, they fled from the tomb, for, trembling and transport, were holding them; and, unto no one, said they, anything, for they were afraid.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the tomb; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) And, arising early, on the first of the week, he was manifested, first, unto Mary the Magdalene, from whom he had cast, seven demons.
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 She, going her way, bare tidings unto them who had come to be with him, as they were mourning and weeping.
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And, they, hearing that he was living, and had been looked upon by her, disbelieved.
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 But, after these things, unto two from among them, as they were walking, was he manifested, in a different form, as they were going unto a country place;
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 and, they, departing, bare tidings unto the rest, —but, even them, they believed not.
And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 But, afterwards, unto the eleven themselves, as they reclined, was he manifested, and he upbraided their disbelief and hardness of heart, —because, them who had looked upon him when arisen [from among the dead] they believed not;
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at food, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 and he said unto them—Go ye into all the world, and proclaim the glad-message, to the whole creation:
And he said unto them, Go all of you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that hath believed, and been immersed, shall be saved; but, he that hath disbelieved, shall be condemned:
He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.
17 Signs, moreover, shall follow, them who have believed, —these: —In my name, shall they cast, demons, out, with tongues, shall they speak, —[and, in their hands, ] they shall take up, serpents;
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 And, if, any deadly thing, they have drunk, in nowise, shall it, hurt, them: Upon sick persons, shall they lay, hands, and, well, shall they remain.
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 The Lord [Jesus], therefore, on the one hand, after talking with them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God:
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 They, on the other hand, going forth, proclaimed on every side, the Lord, co-working, and confirming, the word, through, the closely following signs. OTHERWISE. All the things given in charge unto the companions of Peter, they concisely reported. But, after these things, Jesus also, himself, from east even unto west, sent forth, through them, the sacred and incorruptible proclamation of the age-abiding salvation.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word (logos) with signs following. Amen.
