^aWhen the Sabbath was over, ^bMary Magdalene, Mary the mother of ¹James, and Salome ^cbought spices so that they might come and anoint Him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^athe stone from the entrance of the tomb for us?” 4 And looking up, they *noticed that the stone had been rolled away; ¹for it was extremely large. 5 And ^aentering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they ^bwere amazed. 6 But he *said to them, “^aDo not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the ^bNazarene, who has been crucified. ^cHe has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘^aHe is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

9 ¹[[Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to ^aMary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. 10 ^aShe went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, ^athey refused to believe it.

12 Now after that, ^aHe appeared in a different form ^bto two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country. 13 And they went away and reported it to the rest, but they ^adid not believe them, either.

14 Later ^aHe appeared ^bto the eleven disciples themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reprimanded them for their ^cunbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen from the dead. 15 And He said to them, “^aGo into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 ^aThe one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: ^ain My name they will cast out demons, they will ^bspeak with new tongues; 18 they will ^apick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will ^blay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had ^aspoken to them, He ^bwas received up into heaven and ^csat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.]]

¹[[And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]]

^aAnd when the Sabbath passed, ^bMary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, ^cbought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, they *came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^athe stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 And looking up, they *saw that the stone had been rolled away, ¹although it was very large. 5 ^aAnd entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, wearing a white robe; and they ^bwere amazed. 6 And he *said to them, “^aDo not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the ^bNazarene, who has been crucified. ^cHe has risen; He is not here; behold, the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘^aHe is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” 8 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment were gripping them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

12 After that, ^aHe appeared in a different form ^bto two of them while they were walking along on their way to the countryside. 13 And they went away and reported it to the others, but they ^adid not believe them either.

14 Afterward ^aHe appeared ^bto the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their ^cunbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “^aGo into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 ^aHe who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17 And these ¹signs will accompany those who have believed: ^ain My name they will cast out demons, they will ^bspeak with new tongues; 18 and they will ^apick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will ^blay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
