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.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the
sun had risen. 3 They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away
the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 for it was very big.
Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side,
dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed. 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! 7 But go,
tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There
you will see him, as he said to you.’”
8 They went out, *1 and fled from the tomb, for
trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for
they were afraid. 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. 10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned
and wept. 11 When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her,
they disbelieved. 12 After these things he was revealed in another form to
two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country. 13 They went
away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.
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. 15 He said
to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole
creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who
disbelieves will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who
believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
languages; 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.”
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. 20 They went out, and
preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by
the signs that followed. Amen.
