Mark 16:9-20
New International Version
[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]
9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,(A) out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.(B)
12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.(C) 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.(D)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.(E) 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(F) 17 And these signs(G) will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;(H) they will speak in new tongues;(I) 18 they will pick up snakes(J) with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on(K) sick people, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven(L) and he sat at the right hand of God.(M) 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs(N) that accompanied it.

Mark 16:9-20
King James Version
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Appearances of the Risen Lord
[9 Early(A) on the first day of the week,(B) after He had risen,(C) He appeared first to Mary Magdalene,(D) out of whom He had driven seven demons.(E) 10 She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping. 11 Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.(F) 12 Then after this, He appeared(G) in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.(H) 13 And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.
The Great Commission
14 Later, He appeared to the Eleven(I) themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw Him after He had been resurrected.(J) 15 Then(K) He said to them, “Go into all the world(L) and preach the gospel to the whole creation.(M) 16 Whoever believes(N) and is baptized will be saved,(O) but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(P) 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes;[a](Q) if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm(R) them; they will lay hands on(S) the sick, and they will get well.”
The Ascension
19 Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus(T) was taken up into heaven(U) and sat down at the right hand(V) of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.][b]
