16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 16:2 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 Now when 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 and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 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 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table;and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, 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 preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved;but he who does not believe will be condemned. 16:17 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 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 forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.
