The Disciples Commissioned

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 “These 1signs 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 hurt 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.
