Mark 16
16
Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-8; Luke 24.1-12; John 20.1-10)
1After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James bought some spices to put on Jesus' body. 2Very early on Sunday morning, just as the sun was coming up, they went to the tomb. 3On their way, they were asking one another, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance for us?” 4But when they looked, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. And it was a huge stone!
5The women went into the tomb, and on the right side they saw a young man in a white robe sitting there. They were alarmed.
6The man said, “Don't be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross. God has raised him to life, and he isn't here. You can see the place where they put his body. 7#Mt 26.32; Mk 14.28. Now go and tell his disciples, and especially Peter, that he will go ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”
8When the women ran from the tomb, they were confused and shaking all over. They were too afraid to tell anyone what had happened.
ONE OLD ENDING TO MARK'S GOSPEL#16.9 One Old Ending to Mark's Gospel: Verses 9-20 are not in some manuscripts.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(Matthew 28.9,10; John 20.11-18)
9Very early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen to life, he appeared to Mary Magdalene. Earlier he had forced seven demons out of her. 10She left and told his friends, who were crying and mourning. 11Even though they heard that Jesus was alive and that Mary had seen him, they still would not believe it.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
(Luke 24.13-35)
12Later, Jesus appeared in another form to two disciples, as they were on their way out of the city. 13But when these disciples told what had happened, the others would not believe either.
What Jesus' Followers Must Do
(Matthew 28.16-20; Luke 24.36-49; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
14Afterwards, Jesus appeared to his eleven disciples as they were eating. He scolded them because they were too stubborn to believe the ones who had seen him after he had been raised to life. 15#Ac 1.8. Then he told them:
Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world. 16Anyone who believes me and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe me will be condemned. 17Everyone who believes me will be able to do wonderful things. By using my name they will force out demons, and they will speak new languages. 18They will handle snakes and will drink poison and not be hurt. They will also heal sick people by placing their hands on them.
Jesus Returns to Heaven
(Luke 24.50-53; Acts 1.9-11)
19 #
Ac 1.9-11. After the Lord Jesus had said these things to the disciples, he was taken back up to heaven where he sat down at the right side#16.19 right side: See the note at 12.36. of God. 20Then the disciples left and preached everywhere. The Lord was with them, and the miracles they worked proved that their message was true.
ANOTHER OLD ENDING TO MARK'S GOSPEL#16.9,10 Another Old Ending to Mark's Gospel: Some manuscripts and early translations have both this shorter ending and the longer one (verses 9-20).
21-22 The women quickly told Peter and his friends what had happened. Later, Jesus sent the disciples to the east and to the west with his sacred and everlasting message of how people can be saved forever.

Mark 16
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.
