Mark 16
16
1 #
Mt 28.1-8; Lk 24.1-10; Jn 20.1-2. #Lk 23.56; Jn 19.39. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” 4And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back—it was very large. 5And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. 6And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. 7#Mk 14.28; Jn 21.1-23; Mt 28.7. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.” 8And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
9Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10She went out and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
12After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
14Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.#16.20 Some of the most ancient authorities bring the book to a close at the end of verse 8. One authority concludes the book by adding 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. Other authorities include the preceding passage and continue with verses 9-20. In most authorities verses 9-20 follow immediately after verse 8; a few authorities insert additional material after verse 14

Mark 16

He Is Risen
1Now #Matt. 28:1–8; Luke 24:1–10; John 20:1–8when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome #Luke 23:56; John 19:39bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2#Luke 24:1; John 20:1Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5#Luke 24:3; John 20:11, 12And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6#Ps. 16:10; 49:15; Hos. 6:2; Matt. 28:6; Mark 9:31; Luke 24:6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, #Matt. 26:32; 28:16, 17; Mark 14:28as He said to you.”
8So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. #Matt. 28:8And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
9Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, #Luke 8:2out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10#Luke 24:10She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11#Matt. 28:17; Luke 24:11, 41; John 20:25And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
12After that, He appeared in another form #Luke 24:13–35to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
The Great Commission
14#Luke 24:36; John 20:19, 26; 1 Cor. 15:5Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15#Matt. 28:19; (John 15:16; Acts 1:8); Col. 1:6And He said to them, “Go into all the world #(Col. 1:23)and preach the gospel to every creature. 16#(John 3:18, 36; Acts 2:38; 16:30, 31; Rom. 10:8–10)He who believes and is baptized will be saved; #(John 12:48)but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these #Acts 5:12signs will follow those who believe: #Mark 9:38; Luke 10:17; Acts 5:16; 8:7; 16:18; 19:12In My name they will cast out demons; #(Acts 2:4; 1 Cor. 12:10)they will speak with new tongues; 18#(Luke 10:19); Acts 28:3–6they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; #(Acts 5:15); James 5:14they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand
19So then, #Acts 1:2, 3after the Lord had spoken to them, He was #Ps. 68:18; Luke 9:51; 24:51; John 6:62; 20:17; Acts 1:2, 9–11; (1 Tim. 3:16; Rev. 4:2)received up into heaven, and #(Ps. 110:1); Luke 22:69; (Acts 7:55); 1 Pet. 3:22sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them #Acts 5:12; (1 Cor. 2:4, 5; Heb. 2:4)and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
