Mark 16
1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
When the Sabbath was past, Mary the Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices that they might embalm Jesus.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
And early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the tomb about sunrise.
3 They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
And they said among themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb? (for it was very large.)
4 for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away.
5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
Then entering the tomb, they beheld a youth sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were frightened.
6 He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!
But he said to them, Be not frightened; you seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”
But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, He is gone before you to Galilee; where you shall see him, as he told you.
8 They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
The women then getting out, fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and consternation; but said nothing to any one, they were so terrified.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Jesus having arisen early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
She went and informed those who had attended him, who were in affliction and tears.
11 When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.
But when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
12 After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country.
Afterward he appeared in another form to two of them, as they traveled on foot into the country.
13 They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.
These being returned, informed the other disciples, but neither did they believe him.
14 Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
At length he appeared to the eleven, as they were eating, and reproached them with their incredulity and obstinacy, in disbelieving those who had seen him after his resurrection.
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.
And he said unto them, Go throughout all the world, proclaim the glad tidings to the whole creation.
16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
He who shall believe, and be immersed, shall be saved; but he who shall not believe, shall be condemned.
17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
And these miraculous powers shall attend the believers: -- In my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak in languages unknown to them before.
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
They shall handle serpents with safety. And if they drink poison, it shall not hurt them. They shall cure the sick by laying their hands upon them.
19 So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
Now, after the Lord had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
As for them, they went out and proclaimed the tidings everywhere, the Lord co-operating with them, and confirming their doctrine by the miracles with which it was accompanied.
