| 1Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body. | 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 on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. | 2Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. |
| 3On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” | 3They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?" |
| 4But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside. | 4Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large. |
| 5When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, | 5Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. |
| 6but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. | 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. |
| 7Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.” | 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.'" |
| 8The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened. ---------- [ The most ancient manuscripts of Mark conclude with verse 16:8. Later manuscripts add one or both of the following endings. ] [ Shorter Ending of Mark ] Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen. [ Longer Ending of Mark ] | 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. |
| 9After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out 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 to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. | 10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. |
| 11But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her. | 11When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it. |
| 12Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem 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. |
| 13They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them. | 13They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either. |
| 14Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead. | 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 then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. | 15And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. |
| 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. | 16"He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. |
| 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. | 17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; |
| 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” | 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." |
| 19When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. | 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 the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs. | 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. |
