Mark 16:9–20

Appearances of the Risen Lord

⁹Early ^ton the first day of the week, ^uafter He had risen, ^vHe appeared first to Mary Magdalene, ^wout of whom He had driven seven demons. ^x10She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping. ¹¹Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it. ^y12Then after this, He appeared ^zin a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country. ^a13And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

¹⁴Later, He appeared to the Eleven ^bthemselves 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 been resurrected. ^c15Then ^dHe said to them, “Go into all the world ^eand preach the gospel to the whole creation. ^f16Whoever believes ^gand is baptized will be saved, ^hbut whoever does not believe will be condemned. ⁱ¹⁷And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; ¹⁸they will pick up snakes; ^jkif they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm ^lthem; they will lay hands on ^mthe sick, and they will get well.”

The Ascension

¹⁹Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus ⁿwas taken up into heaven ^oand sat down at the right hand ^pof God. ²⁰And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the accompanying signs. ^q
