Christian Standard Bible

[Some of the earliest mss conclude with 16:8.]^[a]

The Longer Ending of Mark: 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 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 risen.^{(J) 15} Then^(K) he said to them, “Go into all the world^(L) and preach the gospel to all 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 tongues;^{[b] 18} they will pick up snakes; ^[c](Q) if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm^(R) them; they will lay hands on^(S) the sick, and they will get well.”

The Ascension

¹⁹ So the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them,^(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, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]
