Mark 16
Chapter 16
The Resurrection
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, they *?came to the tomb when the sun
had risen.
3 They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us
from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 Looking up, they *?saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was
extremely large.
5 Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white
robe; and they were amazed.
6 And he *?said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the
Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here
is the place where they laid Him.
7 “But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you
to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’ ”
8 They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped
them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
9 [Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared
to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.
10 She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning
and weeping.
11 When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to
believe it.
12 After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were
walking along on their way to the country.
13 They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them
either.
The Disciples Commissioned
14 Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the
table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because
they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
all creation.
16 “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who
has disbelieved shall be condemned.
17 “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they
will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not
hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven
and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them,
and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.]
[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 proclamation of eternal salvation.]
