Mark 16:14-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Later Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating. He spoke firmly to them because they had no faith. They would not believe those who had seen him after he rose from the dead.

¹⁵ He said to them, “Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone. ¹⁶ Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who does not believe will be punished. ¹⁷ Here are the miraculous signs that those who believe will do. In my name they will drive out demons. They will speak in languages they had not known before. ¹⁸ They will pick up snakes with their hands. And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all. They will place their hands on sick people. And the people will get well.”
