Mark 16:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ they will ^(A)pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will ^(B)lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁹ So then, when the Lord Jesus had ^(C)spoken to them, He ^(D)was received up into heaven and ^(E)sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the ^[a]signs that followed.]

[^[b]And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]
