Mark 16
16
The Resurrection
1-3When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm him. Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb. They worried out loud to each other, “Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us?”
4-5Then they looked up, saw that it had been rolled back—it was a huge stone—and walked right in. They saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed all in white. They were completely taken aback, astonished.
6-7He said, “Don’t be afraid. I know you’re looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the One they nailed on the cross. He’s been raised up; he’s here no longer. You can see for yourselves that the place is empty. Now—on your way. Tell his disciples and Peter that he is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You’ll see him there, exactly as he said.”
8They got out as fast as they could, beside themselves, their heads swimming. Stunned, they said nothing to anyone.
9-11[After rising from the dead, Jesus appeared early on Sunday morning to Mary Magdalene, whom he had delivered from seven demons. She went to his former companions, now weeping and carrying on, and told them. When they heard her report that she had seen him alive and well, they didn’t believe her.
12-13Later he appeared, but in a different form, to two of them out walking in the countryside. They went back and told the rest, but they weren’t believed either.
14-16Still later, as the Eleven were eating supper, he appeared and took them to task most severely for their stubborn unbelief, refusing to believe those who had seen him raised up. Then he said, “Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.
17-18“These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: They will throw out demons in my name, they will speak in new tongues, they will take snakes in their hands, they will drink poison and not be hurt, they will lay hands on the sick and make them well.”
19-20Then the Master Jesus, after briefing them, was taken up to heaven, and he sat down beside God in the place of honor. And the disciples went everywhere preaching, the Master working right with them, validating the Message with indisputable evidence.]

Mark 16

The Resurrection of Jesus
Mt 28:1–8; Lk 24:1–12; Jn 20:1–10
1#Mk 15:40; 15:47When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. 2#Mt 28:1; Lk 24:1Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun. 3They said among themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the tomb for us?”
4#Lk 24:2; Jn 20:1But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. For it was very large. 5#Jn 20:11–12; Mt 28:3And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white robe. And they were frightened.
6He said to them, “Do not be frightened. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7#Mk 14:28; Mt 26:32But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see Him, as He told you.”
8They went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
The Appearance to Mary Magdalene
Mt 28:9–10; Jn 20:11–18
9#Mk 15:40; Lk 8:2Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10She went and told those who had been with Him as they mourned and wept. 11#Lk 24:11; Mk 16:13–14When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.
The Appearance to Two Disciples
Lk 24:13–35
12#Lk 24:13–32After that He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13#Lk 24:33–35; Jn 20:25And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
The Commissioning of the Disciples
Mt 28:16–20; Lk 24:36–49; Jn 20:19–23; Ac 1:6–8
14#1Co 15:5; Lk 24:36–43Afterward He appeared to the eleven as they sat at supper, and He reprimanded them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15#Mt 28:19; Ac 1:8He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16#Jn 3:36; 1Pe 3:21; Mt 28:19He who believes and is baptized will be saved. But he who does not believe will be condemned. 17#Ac 5:16; 8:7These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18#Lk 10:19; Ac 3:16they will take up serpents; if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
The Ascension
Lk 24:50–53; Ac 1:9–11
19#1Pe 3:22; Heb 1:3; 12:2After the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God. 20#Ac 5:12; Heb 2:4Then they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
