LO - Mark - 16

16:1  When the Sabbath was past, Mary the Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices that they might embalm Jesus.

16:2  And early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the tomb about sunrise.

16:3  And they said among themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb? (for it was very large.)

16:4  But when they looked, they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

16:5  Then entering the tomb, they beheld a youth sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were frightened.

16:6  But he said to them, Be not frightened; you seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

16:7  But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, He is gone before you to Galilee; where you shall see him, as he told you.

16:8  The women then getting out, fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and consternation; but said nothing to any one, they were so terrified.

16:9  Jesus having arisen early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.

16:10  She went and informed those who had attended him, who were in affliction and tears.

16:11  But when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

16:12  Afterward he appeared in another form to two of them, as they traveled on foot into the country.

16:13  These being returned, informed the other disciples, but neither did they believe him.

16:14  At length he appeared to the eleven, as they were eating, and reproached them with their incredulity and obstinacy, in disbelieving those who had seen him after his resurrection.

16:15  And he said unto them, Go throughout all the world, proclaim the glad tidings to the whole creation.

16:16  He who shall believe, and be immersed, shall be saved; but he who shall not believe, shall be condemned.

16:17  And these miraculous powers shall attend the believers:-- In my name they shall expel demons. They shall speak in languages unknown to them before.

16:18  They shall handle serpents with safety . And if they drink poison, it shall not hurt them. They shall cure the sick by laying their hands upon them.

16:19  Now, after the Lord had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

16:20  As for them, they went out and proclaimed the tidings everywhere, the Lord co-operating with them, and confirming their doctrine by the miracles with which it was accompanied.
