< 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,
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.
2 and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun,
And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun.
3 and they said among themselves, 'Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?'
And they said to one another, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb?
4 And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled away — for it was very great,
And looking up they see that the stone had been rolled back; for it was very large.
5 and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.
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.
6 And he saith to them, 'Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise — he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!
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.
7 and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.'
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.
8 And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid.
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.
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 sabbaths, did appear 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.) (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.
10 she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;
She went and reported it to those who had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.
11 and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe.
12 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form,
After this, he manifested himself in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country.
13 and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.
And they went and reported it to the rest; and even them they did not believe.
14 Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;
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.
15 and he said to them, 'Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to the whole creation.
16 he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.
He that believeth and is baptized will be saved; but he that doth not believe will be condemned.
17 'And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;
And these signs will accompany believers: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
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.
19 The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
So then, the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God;
20 and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
and they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs which followed it.]]
