Mark Chapter 16
1 Now
when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and
Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on
the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 And
they said among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of
the tomb for us?" 4 But
when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was
very large. 5 And
entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on
the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But
he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place
where they laid Him. 7 But
go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee;
there you will see Him, as He said to you." 8 So they went out quickly and
fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid. 9 Now
when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared
first to Mary 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. 11 And when they heard that He
was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. 12 After that, He appeared in
another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it
to the rest, but they did not believe them either. 14 Later He appeared to the
eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked 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, "Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who
believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name
they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they
will take up serpents; and if they drink anything
deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and
they will recover." 19 So
then, after the Lord 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, the Lord working with them and
confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
