Mark 16
Jesus Is Risen!
16aAnd when the Sabbath passed, bMary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, cbought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. 2And very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away athe stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they *saw that the stone had been rolled away, 1although it was very large. 5aAnd entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, wearing a white robe; and they bwere amazed. 6And he *said to them, “aDo not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the bNazarene, who has been crucified. cHe has risen; He is not here; behold, the place where they laid Him. 7“But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘aHe is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” 8And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment were gripping them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
91[Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to aMary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. 10aShe went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and crying. 11And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, athey refused to believe it.
12After that, aHe appeared in a different form bto two of them while they were walking along on their way to the countryside. 13And they went away and reported it to the others, but they adid not believe them either.
The Great Commission
14Afterward aHe appeared bto the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their cunbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15And He said to them, “aGo into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“aHe who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17“And these 1signs will accompany those who have believed: ain My name they will cast out demons, they will bspeak with new tongues; 18and they will apick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will blay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19So then, the Lord Jesus, after He had aspoken to them, bwas taken up into heaven and csat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the 1signs that followed.] 2[And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable preaching of eternal salvation.]
