Mark, 16

1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

1. When the sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint the body.

2. And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

2. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb.

3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

3. They were saying to one another, "Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"

4. And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

4. But as they looked up, they noticed that the stone had already been rolled away. It was a very big stone.

5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

5. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right, and they were amazed.

6. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

6. But he said to them, "Don't be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified; he has been raised and is not here. This is, however, the place where they laid him.

7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

7. Now go and tell his disciples and Peter: Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there just as he told you."

8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid.

8. The women went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them. And they were so afraid that they said nothing to anyone.

9. Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

9. After Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had driven out seven demons.

10. [And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

10. She went and reported the news to his followers, who were now mourning and weeping.

11. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

11. But when they heard that he lived and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

12. After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

12. After this he showed himself in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.

13. And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they them.

13. These men too went back and told the others, but they did not believe them.

14. Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

14. Later Jesus showed himself to the Eleven while they were at table. He reproached them for their unbelief and stubbornness in refusing to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

15. Then he told them, "Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation.

16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

16. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; the one who refuses to believe will be condemned.

17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

17. Signs like these will accompany those who have believed: in my Name they will cast out demons and speak new languages;

18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

18. they will pick up snakes and, if they drink anything poisonous, they will be unharmed. They will lay their hands on the sick and they will be healed."

19. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

19. So then, after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and took his place at the right hand of God.

20. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

20. The Eleven went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs which accompanied them.
