Mark 16:14-20

English Standard Version

The Great Commission

¹⁴ Afterward ^(A)he appeared ^(B)to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their ^(C)unbelief and ^(D)hardness of heart, because ^(E)they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. ¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(F)“Go into all the world and ^(G)proclaim the gospel to ^(H)the whole creation. ^16 (I)Whoever believes and is ^(J)baptized ^(K)will be saved, but ^(L)whoever ^(M)does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And ^(N)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(O)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(P)they will speak in new tongues; ^18 (Q)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(R)they will lay their hands ^(S)on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁹ So then the Lord Jesus, ^(T)after he had spoken to them, ^(U)was taken up into heaven and ^(V)sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while ^(W)the Lord worked with them and confirmed ^(X)the message ^(Y)by accompanying signs.]]
