16:1 |
When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.
|
16:2 |
And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.
|
16:3 |
They had been saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
|
16:4 |
When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back.
|
16:5 |
As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
|
16:6 |
But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.
|
16:7 |
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you."
|
16:8 |
So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
|
16:9 |
Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
|
16:10 |
She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
|
16:11 |
But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
|
16:12 |
After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.
|
16:13 |
And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
|
16:14 |
Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.
|
16:15 |
And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.
|
16:16 |
The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned.
|
16:17 |
And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
|
16:18 |
they will pick up snakes in their hands, 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 |
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
|
16:20 |
And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it.
