Mark 16 NCV

«

1. The day after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some sweet-smelling spices to put on Jesus’ body.

2. Very early on that day, the first day of the week, soon after sunrise, the women were on their way to the tomb.

3. They said to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone that covers the entrance of the tomb?”

4. Then the women looked and saw that the stone had already been rolled away, even though it was very large.

5. The women entered the tomb and saw a young man wearing a white robe and sitting on the right side, and they were afraid.

6. But the man said, “Don’t be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who has been crucified. He has risen from the dead; he is not here. Look, here is the place they laid him.

7. Now go and tell his followers and Peter, ‘Jesus is going into Galilee ahead of you, and you will see him there as he told you before.’ ”

8. The women were confused and shaking with fear, so they left the tomb and ran away. They did not tell anyone about what happened, because they were afraid. ______________________________ Verses 9–20 are not included in some of the earliest surviving Greek copies of Mark.Some Followers See Jesus [

9. After Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week, he showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. One time in the past, he had forced seven demons out of her.

10. After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers, who were very sad and were crying.

11. But Mary told them that Jesus was alive. She said that she had seen him, but the followers did not believe her.

12. Later, Jesus showed himself to two of his followers while they were walking in the country, but he did not look the same as before.

13. These followers went back to the others and told them what had happened, but again, the followers did not believe them.Jesus Talks to the Apostles

14. Later Jesus showed himself to the eleven apostles while they were eating, and he criticized them because they had no faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead.

15. Jesus said to his followers, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone.

16. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who does not believe will be punished.

17. And those who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force out demons. They will speak in new languages.

18. They will pick up snakes and drink poison without being hurt. They will touch the sick, and the sick will be healed.”

19. After the Lord Jesus said these things to his followers, he was carried up into heaven, and he sat at the right side of God.

20. The followers went everywhere in the world and told the Good News to people, and the Lord helped them. The Lord proved that the Good News they told was true by giving them power to work miracles.]
