“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. 2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of
the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And
they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone
was rolled away: for it was very great. 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. 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. 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. 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.”
“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.
10 [And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned
and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had
been seen of her, believed not. 12 After that he appeared in another
form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13 And
they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they 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. 15 And he said
unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he
that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues; 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.”
“19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up
into heaven, and sat on 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.” (Mark 16:1-20 AV)
