Mark 16

The Resurrection

Mark 16:1–8

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought aromatic spices, that they might come and anoint him.

2 And very early in the morning 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 us away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?

4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were alarmed.

6 And he saith unto them, Do not be alarmed: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the tomb; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

Mark 16:9–11

9 ¶ Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had expelled seven demons.

10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

Mark 16:12–13

12 ¶ After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

13 And they went and told the others, but they did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

Mark 16:14–18

14 ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they were dining, and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be condemned.

17 And these signs shall accompany those who believe: In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Ascension

Mark 16:19–20

19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
