⁹Now when he had risen very early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons. ¹⁰She went and brought word to those that had been with him, who were grieving and weeping. ¹¹And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved it. ¹²And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country; ¹³and they went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.

¹⁴Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen. ¹⁵And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation. ¹⁶He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned. ¹⁷And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; ¹⁸they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.

¹⁹The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. ²⁰And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs following upon it.
