Mark 16

Jesus Comes Back to Life
(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–10)
1When the day of rest—a holy day, was over, Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of James), and Salome bought spices to go and anoint Jesus.
2On Sunday they were going to the tomb very early when the sun had just come up. 3They said to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was a very large stone. 5As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man. He was dressed in a white robe and sat on the right side. They were panic-stricken.
6The young man said to them, “Don’t panic! You’re looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been brought back to life. He’s not here. Look at the place where they laid him. 7Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he’s going ahead of them to Galilee. There they will see him, just as he told them.”
8They went out of the tomb and ran away. Shock and trembling had overwhelmed them. They didn’t say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.#16:8 Some manuscripts and translations end Mark here; some add verses 9–20.
Jesus Appears to His Followers
9After Jesus came back to life early on Sunday, he appeared first to Mary from Magdala, from whom he had forced out seven demons. 10She went and told his friends, who were grieving and crying. 11They didn’t believe her when they heard that he was alive and that she had seen him.
12Later Jesus appeared to two disciples as they were walking to their home in the country. He did not look as he usually did. 13They went back and told the others, who did not believe them either. 14Still later Jesus appeared to the eleven apostles while they were eating. He put them to shame for their unbelief and because they were too stubborn to believe those who had seen him alive.
15Then Jesus said to them, “So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17“These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. 18They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them.”
19After talking with the apostles, the Lord was taken to heaven, where he received the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the throne.
20The disciples spread ⌞the Good News⌟ everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He confirmed his word by the miraculous signs that accompanied it.

Mark 16
16
1Once the Sabbath had ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic ointments so that they could go and anoint Jesus' body. 2Very early on the first day of the week,#16:2. That is, Sunday. just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3They were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4But when they arrived and looked, they saw that the very large, heavy stone had already been rolled away.
5When they went into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a long white robe. They became very frightened.
6“Don't be frightened,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the one who was crucified. He is risen from the dead. He is not here. 7Look, this is the place where they laid him to rest. Now go, and tell his disciples and Peter that he's going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there just as he told you.”
8They left and ran from the tomb, shaking and confused. They said nothing to anyone because they were too scared.#16:8. Many of the early manuscripts of Mark end here. Others continue as shown.
9When Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, he appeared first of all to Mary Magdalene, from whom he'd driven out seven demons. 10She went and told those who had been with him as they mourned and cried. 11When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they didn't believe it. 12Later Jesus appeared in a different form to two other disciples who'd left to go to the countryside. 13They returned and told the others, but they didn't believe them either.
14After this he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating. He rebuked them for their lack of trust and their stubbornness, because they had not believed those who'd seen him after he had risen.
15Then he told them, “Go to the whole world, and announce the good news to everyone.#16:15. Literally, “all creation.” 16Anyone who trusts in me and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who chooses not to trust will be condemned. 17The following signs will accompany those who trust in me: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak new languages; 18they will be able to handle snakes; if they drink something poisonous they won't be harmed; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be healed.”
19Then, the Lord Jesus, when he had finished speaking to them, was taken up into heaven where he sat down at the right hand of God. 20The disciples went out and spread the good news everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, confirming the message through miraculous signs that accompanied it.
