Mark 16

Jesus Rises from Death
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, the women were on their way to the tomb. It was soon after sunrise. 3They said to each other, “There is a large stone covering the entrance of the tomb. Who will move the stone for us?”
4Then the women looked and saw that the stone was already moved. The stone was very large, but it was moved away from the entrance. 5The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe. He was sitting on the right side, and the women were afraid.
6But the man said, “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, the one who was killed on a cross. He has risen from death. 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. He will be there before you. You will see him there as he told you before.’”
8The women were confused and shaking with fear. They left the tomb and ran away. They did not tell anyone about what happened, because they were afraid.# Some early Greek copies end the book with verse 8.
Some Followers See Jesus
9Jesus rose from death 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 to leave Mary. 10After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers. They 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 Jesus did not look the same as before. 13These followers went back to the others and told them what had happened. Again, the followers did not believe them.
Jesus Talks to the Apostles
14Later Jesus showed himself to the 11 followers while they were eating. He criticized them because they had little faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen from death.
15Jesus said to the followers, “Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone. 16Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But he who does not believe will be judged guilty. 17And those who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force demons out of people. They will speak in languages they never learned. 18They will pick up snakes without being hurt. And they will drink poison without being hurt. They will touch the sick, and the sick will be healed.”
19After the Lord Jesus said these things to the followers, he was carried up into heaven. There, Jesus 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
1 # For ver. 1-8, see Matt. 28:1-8; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1 # [ch. 1:32] When the Sabbath was past, #ch. 15:40 Mary Magdalene, #ch. 15:40 Mary the mother of James, and #[See ch. 15:40 above] Salome #Luke 23:56; [John 19:39, 40]bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away #ch. 15:46the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—#Matt. 27:60it was very large. 5And #[John 20:11, 12] entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, #[ch. 9:3; Dan. 7:9; John 20:12; Acts 1:10] dressed in #Rev. 6:11; 7:9 a white robe, and #ch. 9:15 (Gk.)they were alarmed. 6And he said to them, #[See ver. 5 above]“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that #ch. 14:28he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, #ch. 14:28just as he told you.” 8And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
[Some of the earliest manuscripts do not include 16:9–20.] # 16:9 Some manuscripts end the book with 16:8; others include verses 9–20 immediately after verse 8. At least one manuscript inserts additional material after verse 14; some manuscripts include after verse 8 the following: But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told. And after this, Jesus himself sent out by means of them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. These manuscripts then continue with verses 9–20
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
9[[Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, #John 20:14; [Matt. 28:9] he appeared first to #Luke 8:2Mary Magdalene, #Luke 8:2from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10#John 20:18; [Matt. 28:10; Luke 24:10] She went and told those who had been with him, #John 16:20 as they #Luke 6:25mourned and wept. 11But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they #Luke 24:11; [ver. 16]would not believe it.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
12 #
Luke 24:13-31 After these things #ver. 14; [John 21:1, 14] he appeared in #Luke 9:29 (Gk.)another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13#Luke 24:33-35And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
The Great Commission
14Afterward #[See ver. 12 above] he appeared #Luke 24:36; 1 Cor. 15:5 to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their #[Luke 24:41] unbelief and #See ch. 10:5 hardness of heart, because #ver. 11, 13they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15And he said to them, #Matt. 28:19 “Go into all the world and #Col. 1:23; [ch. 13:10; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:18] proclaim the gospel to #Rom. 8:22the whole creation. 16#[John 3:18] Whoever believes and is #John 3:5 baptized #Acts 16:31; Rom. 10:9; 1 Pet. 3:21 will be saved, but #ver. 11; Luke 24:11, 41; Acts 28:24; 1 Pet. 2:7; [2 Thess. 2:12]whoever #[John 3:18] does not believe will be condemned. 17And #[ch. 11:23] these signs will accompany those who believe: #Acts 5:16; 8:7; 16:18; 19:12; See ch. 9:38 in my name they will cast out demons; #Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6; 1 Cor. 12:10, 28, 30; 13:1; 14:2, 4they will speak in new tongues; 18#Luke 10:19; Acts 28:3-5 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; #See ch. 5:23 they will lay their hands #Acts 5:15, 16; 8:7; 9:12, 17; 28:8; James 5:14, 15; [John 14:12]on the sick, and they will recover.”
19So then the Lord Jesus, #Acts 1:3 after he had spoken to them, #Luke 9:51; 24:51; John 6:62; Acts 1:2; 1 Tim. 3:16; [John 20:17; Eph. 4:8-10; Heb. 4:14] was taken up into heaven and #Acts 7:55, 56; Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1 Pet. 3:22; Rev. 3:21; See Matt. 22:44; Acts 2:33sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while #Heb. 2:3, 4; See 1 Cor. 3:9 the Lord worked with them and confirmed #See ch. 4:14 the message #See Acts 5:12by accompanying signs.]]
