Mark 16
Authorized (King James) Version
16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
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.
Mark 16
Worldwide English (New Testament)
16 The Sabbath day was past. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome came to the grave. They brought spices that smelled very nice to put on the body of Jesus.
2 They came to the grave on the first day of the week. It was very early in the morning. The sun was beginning to shine.
3 One woman said to the other, `Who will roll away the big stone from the grave for us?'
4 The stone was very big. When they looked up they saw that the stone was rolled away.
5 So they went in the grave. They saw a young man dressed in a white gown. He sat at the right side. They were very much surprised.
6 He said, `Do not be surprised. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was nailed to a cross. He is risen. He is not here. Look, here is where they laid him.
7 Go and tell his disciples and Peter. Tell them he is going to Galilee before you. You will see him there as he said to you.'
8 Then they left the grave quickly. They were trembling and afraid. They did not talk to anyone about it because they were afraid.
9 Jesus rose early on the first day of the week. He showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. Jesus had driven seven bad spirits out of her.
10 She went and told the disciples that she had seen him. They were still crying because Jesus was dead.
11 Mary told them that he was living. She had seen him. But they would not believe it.
12 After this, Jesus came to two disciples. He looked like a different person. They were walking out in the country.
13 They went back and told the rest of the disciples, but they would not believe them either.
14 Then after that Jesus showed himself to the eleven disciples while they were eating. He said it was very bad for them not to believe and for their minds to be slow. He said they should have believed those who saw him after he rose from death.
15 Then Jesus said to them, `Go into every part of the world. Tell the good news to everyone.
16 The one who believes the good news and is baptised will be saved. But he who does not believe will be judged and punished.
17 These signs will be with those who believe. They will drive bad spirits out of people by using my name. They will speak new languages.
18 They will take up snakes. If they drink poison, it will not make them sick. They will put their hands on sick people and sick people will get well again.'
19 So after the Lord Jesus had talked to them, he went up into heaven and sat down beside God.
20 Then the disciples went and told the good news everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He made their words come true by the signs that happened after they talked.
