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

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.]
