Mark 16

Jesus Rises From the Dead
1When the Sabbath day was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to put on Jesus’ body. 2They went to the tomb very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise. On the way 3they were asking each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?”
4But as they approached, they could see that the stone, even though it was very large, had already been rolled away. 5When they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were distressed.
6“Don’t be distressed,” he said. “You’re looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He’s not here! He has risen! Look, this is where his body was. 7Go tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He’s going ahead of you into Galilee and you’ll see him there, just as he told you.’ ”
8But the women were shaking so hard and they were so amazed that they left the tomb and ran away. They didn’t say anything to anyone, because they were afraid.
9When Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. (He had driven seven demons out of her.) 10She went to tell those who’d been with him, and she found them mourning and crying. 11When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she’d seen him, they didn’t believe it.
12After that, Jesus appeared to two of them while they were walking out in the country. They didn’t recognize him at first because he didn’t look the way they expected. 13The two returned and told the others about it, but the others didn’t believe them.
14Later Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating. He had strong words for them for being so unbelieving and hard-hearted. He told them they should have believed the people who’d seen him after he rose from the dead.
15But then he said to them, “Go everywhere in the world and preach the good news to the whole creation. 16Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who doesn’t believe will be condemned. 17Those who believe will do miraculous signs. They’ll drive out demons in my name, and they’ll speak in new tongues. 18They’ll pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink deadly poison, it won’t hurt them at all. When they will place their hands on sick people, the sick will get well.”
19When the Lord Jesus had finished speaking to them, he was taken up into heaven, where he sat down at the right hand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, confirming his word by the signs that occurred with it.
