The Gospel According to St Mark

Chapter 16

Christ is risen—He appears to Mary Magdalene, then to others—He sends the Apostles to preach and promises that signs will follow faith—He ascends into heaven.


 And very early in the morning the afirst day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the brising of the sun.



 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, aclothed in a long white garment; and they were baffrighted.

 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is arisen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.



 ¶Now when Jesus was arisen early the first day of the week, he bappeared first to cMary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.





 14 ¶Afterward he appeared unto the aeleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their bunbelief and chardness 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 apreach the bgospel to every ccreature.

 16 He that abelieveth and is bbaptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be cdamned.

 17 And these asigns shall bfollow them that believe; In my cname shall they dcast out edevils; they shall speak with new ftongues;

 18 They shall take up aserpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not bhurt them; they shall lay chands on the dsick, and they shall recover.

 19 ¶So then after the aLord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
