- Chapter 16 -

(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–9)

And the Sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint Him,

and early in the morning of the first [day] of the weeks, they come to the tomb, at the rising of the sun,

and they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone out of the door of the tomb for us?”

And having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away—for it was very great,

and having entered into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, clothed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.

And he says to them, “Do not be amazed, you seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified [One]: He rose—He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him!

And go, say to His disciples and Peter that He goes before you to Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and they said to no one anything, for they were afraid. [[

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

(John 20:10–18)

And He, having risen in the morning of the first of the week, appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons;

she having gone, told those who had been with Him, mourning and weeping;

and they, having heard that He is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

(Luke 24:13–35)

And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, He appeared in another form,

and they having gone, told [it] to the rest; not even them did they believe.

The Great Commission

(Matthew 28:16–20)

Afterward, as they are reclining, He appeared to the Eleven, and reproached their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him being raised;

and He said to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;

he who has believed and has been immersed will be saved; and he who has not believed will be condemned.

And signs will accompany those believing these things: they will cast out demons in My Name; they will speak with new tongues;

they will take up serpents; and if they may drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the ailing, and they will be well.”

The Ascension

(Luke 24:50–53; Acts 1:6–11)

The LORD, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;

and they, having gone forth, preached everywhere, the LORD working with [them], and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.]]

(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–9)

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.

He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!

But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

They went out,(a) and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.(b)

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

(John 20:10–18)

(c)

Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

(Luke 24:13–35)

After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country.

They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.

The Great Commission

(Matthew 28:16–20)

Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The Ascension

(Luke 24:50–53; Acts 1:6–11)

So then the Lord,(d) after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

Footnotes

(a)16:8 TR adds “quickly”

(b)16:8 One isolated manuscript omits verses 9-20 but adds this “short ending of Mark” to the end of verse 8: They told all that had been commanded them briefly to those around Peter. After that, Jesus himself sent them out, from east to west, with the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.

(c)16:9 NU includes the text of verses 9-20, but mentions in a footnote that a few manuscripts omitted it. The translators of the World English Bible regard Mark 16:9 as reliable based on an overwhelming majority of textual evidence, including not only the authoritative Greek Majority Text New Testament, but also the TR and many of the manuscripts cited in the NU text.

(d)16:19 NU adds “Jesus”
