THE LONGER ENDING OF MARK: APPEARANCES OF THE RISEN LORD

[9 Earlyac on the first day of the week,ad after he had risen,ae he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,af out of whom he had driven seven demons.ag 10 She went and reported to those who had been with him, as they were mourning and weeping. 11 Yet, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.ah

12 After this, he appearedai in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.aj 13 And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.

THE GREAT COMMISSION

14 Later he appeared to the Elevenak themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.al 15 Thenam he said to them, “Go into all the worldan and preach the gospel to all creation.ao 16 Whoever believesap and is baptized will be saved,aq but whoever does not believe will be condemned.ar 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;D 18 they will pick up snakes;E,as if they should drink anything deadly, it will not harmat them; they will lay hands onau the sick, and they will get well.”

THE ASCENSION

19 So the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them,av was taken up into heavenaw and sat down at the right handax of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the accompanying signs.]
