| 1Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. | 1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. |
| 2Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. | 2Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. |
| 3And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” | 3They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?" |
| 4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. | 4Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large. |
| 5And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. | 5Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. |
| 6But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. | 6And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. |
| 7But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” | 7"But go, tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.'" |
| 8So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. | 8They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. |
| 9Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. | 9Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. |
| 10She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. | 10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. |
| 11And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. | 11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it. |
| 12After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. | 12After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country. |
| 13And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. | 13They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either. |
| 14Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. | 14Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen. |
| 15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. | 15And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. |
| 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. | 16"He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. |
| 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; | 17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; |
| 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” | 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." |
| 19So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. | 19So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. |
| 20And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. | 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed. 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. |
