Mark Sixteen
When the sabbath had passed, Mary of
Magdala and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, bought spices, that they
might come and anoint him. Early in the morning, on the first day of
the week, they came to the tomb, as the sun
was just rising. And they said among themselves, Who
will roll away the stone from the door of the
tomb for us? And they looked and saw that the stone
was rolled away, for it was very large. And they entered the tomb, and saw a
young man, sitting on the right, covered in a
white robe; and they were astonished. But he said to them, Do not be afraid. You
seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified;
he has risen; he is not here; behold the place
where he was laid.
But go away and tell his disciples, and
Peter, that he will be before you in Galilee;
there you will see him, just as he has told
you. And when they heard it, they fled and went
out of the tomb, for they were seized with
amazement and trembling; and they said
nothing to any man, for they were frightened.
¶ Now he rose early on the first day of the
week, and appeared first to Mary of Magdala,
from whom he had cast seven demons.
And she went and brought glad tidings
to those who were with him, who now were
mourning and weeping. And when they heard them saying that
he was alive, and had appeared to them, they
did not believe them.
¶ After these things he appeared to two of
them in another manner, as they were walking
and going to a village. And they went and told the rest; but they
did not believe them also.
¶ At last he appeared to the eleven while
they were reclining, and he upbraided them
for their little faith and the dulness of their
hearts, because they had not believed those
who saw him risen.
¶ And he said to them, Go to all the world,
and preach my gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized shall be
saved; and he who does not believe shall be
condemned. And wonders will follow those who believe
these things. In my name they will cast
out demons; and they will speak with new
tongues; And they will pick up snakes; and if they
should drink any poison of death, it will not
harm them; and they will lay their hands on
the sick, and they will be healed
¶ Then our Lord Jesus, after he had spoken
to them, ascended to heaven, and sat on
the right hand of God. And they went out, and preached in every
place; and our Lord helped them, and he
strengthened their words by the miracles
which they performed.
