Mark 16

The Resurrection
 1  Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus' body.  2  Very early on Sunday morning, [2]  just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.  3  On the way they were asking each other, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"  4  But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.
   5  When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked,  6  ... but the angel said, "Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body."  7  Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died."
   8  The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened. [8] 

[Shorter Ending of Mark]

[Longer Ending of Mark]
   19  When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand.  20  And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.
<<  16:2 Greek on the first day of the week; also in 16:9.
<<  16:6 Or Jesus the Nazarene.
<<  16:8 The most reliable early manuscripts of the Gospel of Mark end at verse 8. Other manuscripts include various endings to the Gospel. A few include both the "shorter ending" and the "longer ending." The majority of manuscripts include the "longer ending" immediately after verse 8.
<<  16:14 Some early manuscripts add: And they excused themselves, saying, "This age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who does not permit God's truth and power to conquer the evil [unclean] spirits. Therefore, reveal your justice now." This is what they said to Christ. And Christ replied to them, "The period of years of Satan's power has been fulfilled, but other dreadful things will happen soon. And I was handed over to death for those who have sinned, so that they may return to the truth and sin no more, and so they may inherit the spiritual, incorruptible, and righteous glory in heaven."
<<  16:17 Or new tongues; some manuscripts do not include new.
