Mark:16

Seeker Overlay ON

* Now when the Sabbath was past , Mary Magdalene , Mary the mother of James , and Salome bought spices , that they might come and anoint Him . * Very early in the morning , on the first day of the week , they came to the tomb when the sun had risen . * And they said among themselves , "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us ?" * But when they looked up , they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large . * And entering the tomb , they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side ; and they were alarmed . * But he said to them , "Do not be alarmed . You seek Jesus of Nazareth , who was crucified . He is risen ! He is not here . See the place where they laid Him . * But go , tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee ; there you will see Him , as He said to you ." * So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb , for they trembled and were amazed . And they said nothing to anyone , for they were afraid . * Now when He rose early on the first day of the week , He appeared first to Mary Magdalene , out of whom He had cast seven demons . * She went and told those who had been with Him , as they mourned and wept . * And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her , they did not believe . * After that , He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country . * And they went and told it to the rest , but they did not believe them either . * Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table ; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart , because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen . * And He said to them , "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature . * He who believes and is baptized will be saved ; but he who does not believe will be condemned . * And these signs will follow those who believe : In My name they will cast out demons ; they will speak with new tongues ; * they will take up serpents ; and if they drink anything deadly , it will by no means hurt them ; they will lay hands on the sick , and they will recover ." * So then , after the Lord had spoken to them , He was received up into heaven , and sat down at the right hand of God . * And they went out and preached everywhere , the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs . Amen .
