The Resurrection
1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome purchased [sweet-smelling] spices, so that they might go and #16:1 This was an act designed to indicate loving devotion to the deceased, and to lessen the odor of decay.anoint Him. [Matt 28:1-8; Luke 24:1-10; John 20:1-8] 2Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, though it was extremely large. 5Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a [long, stately] white robe; and they were amazed and bewildered. 6And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him. [Ps 16:10] 7But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.’ ” [Mark 14:28] 8They went out and fled from the tomb, for they were seized with trembling and astonishment; and they said nothing [about it] to anyone, because they were afraid.
9 # 16:9 Later mss add vv 9-20. [Now Jesus, having risen [from death] early on the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. 10She went and reported it to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
12After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking along the way to the country. [Luke 24:13-35] 13They returned [to Jerusalem] and told the others, but they did not believe them either.
The Disciples Commissioned
14Later, Jesus appeared to the eleven [disciples] themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He called them to account for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen [from death]. 15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16He who has believed [in Me] and has been baptized will be saved [from the penalty of God’s wrath and judgment]; but he who has not believed will be condemned. 17These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.”
19So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. [Ps 110:1] 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed.]

Mark 16

Resurrection Morning
1When#Mt 28:1; Lk 24:1–2 the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,#Mk 15:40 Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they could go and anoint him. 2Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,#Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 they went to the tomb#Jn 5:28 at sunrise. 3They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” 4Looking up, they noticed that the stone — which was very large — had been rolled away.
5When#Mt 28:5–8; Lk 24:3–8; Jn 20:1–2 they entered the tomb,#Jn 5:28 they saw a young man#Lk 7:14 dressed#Lk 12:27 in a white#Rv 3:4 robe sitting on the right side; they were alarmed. 6“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,#Mk 14:67 who was crucified. He has risen!#1Co 15:4 He is not here. See the place where they put him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter,#Lk 6:14 ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee;#Mt 17:22 you will see him there just as he told you.’”
8They went out and ran from the tomb,#Jn 5:28 because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone,#Mk 1:44; 4:40 since they were afraid.
[Some of the earliest mss conclude with 16:8.]#16:8 Other mss include vv. 9–20 as a longer ending. The following shorter ending is found in some mss between v. 8 and v. 9 and in one ms after v. 8 (each of which omits vv. 9–20): And all that had been commanded to them they quickly reported to those around Peter. After these things, Jesus himself sent out through them from east to west, the holy and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.
The Longer Ending of Mark: Appearances of the Risen Lord
[ 9Early#Jn 20:11–18 on the first day of the week,#Lk 24:1; Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 after he had risen,#Lk 18:33; Ac 2:24 he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,#Mk 15:40 out of whom he had driven seven demons.#Mk 3:15; Lk 8:2 10She went and reported to those who had been with him, as they were mourning and weeping. 11Yet, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.#Lk 24:5,11,23
12After this, he appeared#Jn 21:1; 2Co 4:11 in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.#Lk 24:13–35 13And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.
The Great Commission
14Later he appeared to the Eleven#Lk 24:9 themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.#Lk 24:38,41 15Then#Mt 28:16–20 he said to them, “Go into all the world#Mt 13:38; 1Jn 2:2 and preach the gospel to all creation.#Rm 8:22 16Whoever believes#Mk 11:24; Jn 3:16; Ac 10:43; Rm 10:9; 1Pt 1:8–10 and is baptized will be saved,#Ac 2:38; 22:16 but whoever does not believe will be condemned.#Mt 12:41; Jn 3:18,36; 5:11; 20:23 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;#16:17 = languages 18they will pick up snakes; #16:18 Other mss add with their hands#Lk 10:19; Ac 28:3–6 if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm#Ac 28:5 them; they will lay hands on#Ac 9:12,17; 1Tm 5:22 the sick, and they will get well.”
The Ascension
19So the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them,#Lk 24:3 was taken up into heaven#Lk 24:51; Ac 1:2,11,22; 1Tm 3:16 and sat down at the right hand#Lk 22:69; Heb 10:12 of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]
