And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen.
|
16:3 |
And they were saying to one another, 'Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?'
|
16:4 |
And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back;-- it was very large.
|
16:5 |
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe;and they were amazed.
|
16:6 |
And he said to them, 'Do not be amazed;you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here;see the place where they laid him.
|
16:7 |
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee;there you will see him, as he told you.'
|
16:8 |
And they went out and fled from the tomb;for trembling and astonishment had come upon them;and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
|
16:9 |

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

And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
|

And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons;they will speak in new tongues;
|
16:18 |
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them;they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.'
|
16:19 |

|
16:20 |
And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.
