16:1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

16:2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

16:3 They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

16:4 for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back

16:5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

16:6 He said to them, "Don`t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!

16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, `He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.`"

16:8 They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.

16:9 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.

16:10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

16:11 When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

16:12 After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.

16:13 They went away and told it to the rest. They didn`t believe them, either.

16:14 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.

16:15 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 disbelieves will be condemned.

16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

16:18 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."

16:19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
