Resurrection Morning

16 When^(A) the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene,^(B) Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they could go and anoint him. ² Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week,^(C) they went to the tomb^(D) at sunrise. ³ They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” ⁴ Looking up, they noticed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.

⁵ When^(E) they entered the tomb,^(F) they saw a young man^(G) dressed^(H) in a white^(I) robe sitting on the right side; they were alarmed. ⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,^(J) who was crucified. He has risen!^(K) He is not here. See the place where they put him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter,^(L) ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee;^(M) you will see him there just as he told you.’”

⁸ They went out and ran from the tomb,^(N) because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone,^(O) since they were afraid.

The Longer Ending of Mark: Appearances of the Risen Lord

[⁹ Early^(P) on the first day of the week,^(Q) after he had risen,^(R) he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,^(S) out of whom he had driven seven demons.^{(T) 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.^(U)

¹² After this, he appeared^(V) in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.^{(W) 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^(X) 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.^{(Y) 15} Then^(Z) he said to them, “Go into all the world^(AA) and preach the gospel to all creation.^{(AB) 16} Whoever believes^(AC) and is baptized will be saved,^(AD) but whoever does not believe will be condemned.^{(AE) 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](AF) if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harm^(AG) them; they will lay hands on^(AH) the sick, and they will get well.”

The Ascension

¹⁹ So the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them,^(AI) was taken up into heaven^(AJ) and sat down at the right hand^(AK) of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]
