MSB Audio · Mark 16
Majority Standard Bible
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.
2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.
3 They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’”
8 So the women left the tomb and ran away, trembling and bewildered. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone.
9 Early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping.
11 And when they heard that Jesus was alive and she had seen Him, they did not believe it.
12 After this, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in the country.
13 And they went back and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14 Later, as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
19 After the Lord had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it. Amen.
KJV
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.

Of Christ's resurrection and ascension.
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And they came unto the sepulchre on a sabbath day very early, when the sun was risen.
3 And they said one to another, Who shall roll us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And they looked there, and perceived that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.
5 And they entered into the sepulchre, and saw a young man sitting on the right hand, clothed in a long white garment. And they were amazed.
6 And he said unto them: Be not dismayed. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen, and is not here. Behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go and tell his disciples and Peter, that he will go before you into Galilee; and there ye shall see him, as he hath said unto you.
8 And they came out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre: for trembling and terror had come upon them. And said nothing to any man: for they were afraid.
9 And Jesus, being risen early in the morning on the first day of the sabbath, appeared the first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven devils.
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, which mourned and wept.
11 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and that he appeared unto her, believed them not.
12 And after that, as two of them walked, he manifested himself in another form, as they went into the field.
13 And they also went and told it unto the rest: neither believed they them.
14 Last of all, as the eleven sat at meat, he manifested himself, and rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him risen.
15 And 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 the signs which shall follow them that believe are these: In my name shall they cast out devils, and shall speak with new tongues,
18 They shall drive out serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall be better.
19 And the LORD, after he had spoken unto them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of GOD.
20 And they went out, and preached in every place. And the LORD wrought with them, confirming the word with signs following]. Gospel of Luke ^
