Mark 16
16
Jesus Rises from the Dead
1The day after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some sweet-smelling spices to put on Jesus’ body. 2Very early on that day, the first day of the week, soon after sunrise, the women were on their way to the tomb. 3They said to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone that covers the entrance of the tomb?”
4Then the women looked and saw that the stone had already been rolled away, even though it was very large. 5The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe and sitting on the right side, and they were afraid.
6But the man said, “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who has been crucified. He has risen from the dead; he is not here. Look, here is the place they laid him. 7Now go and tell his followers and Peter, ‘Jesus is going into Galilee ahead of you, and you will see him there as he told you before.’ ”
8The women were confused and shaking with fear, so they left the tomb and ran away. They did not tell anyone about what happened, because they were afraid.

Verses 9–20 are not included in some of the earliest surviving Greek copies of Mark.
Some Followers See Jesus
[9After Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week, he showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. One time in the past, he had forced seven demons out of her. 10After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers, who were very sad and were crying. 11But Mary told them that Jesus was alive. She said that she had seen him, but the followers did not believe her.
12Later, Jesus showed himself to two of his followers while they were walking in the country, but he did not look the same as before. 13These followers went back to the others and told them what had happened, but again, the followers did not believe them.
Jesus Talks to the Apostles
14Later Jesus showed himself to the eleven apostles while they were eating, and he criticized them because they had no faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead.
15Jesus said to his followers, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone. 16Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who does not believe will be punished. 17And those who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force out demons. They will speak in new languages. 18They will pick up snakes and drink poison without being hurt. They will touch the sick, and the sick will be healed.”
19After the Lord Jesus said these things to his followers, he was carried up into heaven, and he sat at the right side of God. 20The followers went everywhere in the world and told the Good News to people, and the Lord helped them. The Lord proved that the Good News they told was true by giving them power to work miracles.]

The Resurrection of Jesus
Mt 28:1–8; Lk 24:1–12; Jn 20:1–10
1#Mk 15:40; 15:47When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. 2#Mt 28:1; Lk 24:1Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun. 3They said among themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?”
4#Lk 24:2; Jn 20:1But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. For it was very large. 5#Jn 20:11–12; Mt 28:3And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white robe. And they were frightened.
6He said to them, “Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7#Mk 14:28; Mt 26:32But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see Him, as He told you.”
8They went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
The Appearance to Mary Magdalene
Mt 28:9–10; Jn 20:11–18
9#Mk 15:40; Lk 8:2Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10She went and told those who had been with Him as they mourned and wept. 11#Lk 24:11; Mk 16:13–14When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
The Appearance to Two Disciples

15#Mt 28:19; Ac 1:8He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16#Jn 3:36; 1Pe 3:21; Mt 28:19He who believes and is baptized will be saved. But he who does not believe will be condemned. 17#Ac 5:16; 8:7These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18#Lk 10:19; Ac 3:16they will take up serpents; if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
