⁹And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons; ¹⁰she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping; ¹¹and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe. ¹²And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form, ¹³and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

¹⁴Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised; ¹⁵and he said to them, ‘Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; ¹⁶he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

¹⁷‘And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; ¹⁸serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.’

¹⁹The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; ²⁰and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
