Mark

1And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus.

2And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen.

3And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

4And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great.

5And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe: and they were astonished.

6Who saith to them: Be not affrighted; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen, he is not here, behold the place where they laid him.

7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

8But they going out, fled from the sepulchre. For a trembling and fear had seized them: and they said nothing to any man; for they were afraid.

9But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

10She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.

11And they hearing that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe.

12And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.

13And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe them.

14At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.

15And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.

17And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.

18They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.

19And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God.

20But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.

The Resurrection

1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

2Very early on the first day of the week,just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.

3They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

5When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

7But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”

8So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

9Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen,He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.

10She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.

11And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

12After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.

13And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

14Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

18they will pick up snakes with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”

The Ascension

19After the Lord Jesushad spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

20And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
