16Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus' body.G2532G1230G4521G1230G3137G3094G2532G3137G3588G2385G2532G4539G59G759G2443G2064G218G8462Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.G2532G3029G4404G3391G4521G2064G1909G3419G393G22463On the way they were asking each other, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"G2532G3004G4314G1438G5101G617G2254G617G3037G1537G2374G34194But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.G2532G308G2334G3754G3037G617G1063G2258G4970G31735When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked,G2532G1525G1519G3419G1492G3495G2521G1722G1188G4016G3022G4749G2532G15686but the angel said, "Don't be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.G1161G3004G846G1568G3361G1568G2212G2424G3479G3588G4717G1453G2076G3756G5602G2396G5117G3699G5087G8467Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died."G235G5217G2036G846G3101G2532G4074G3754G4254G5209G1519G1056G1563G3700G846G2531G2036G52138The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened. [Shorter Ending of Mark] Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen.G2532G1831G5035G5343G575G3419G1161G846G2192G5156G2532G1611G2532G2036G3762G3762G1063G53999[Longer Ending of Mark] After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.G1161G450G4404G4413G4521G5316G4412G3137G3094G575G3739G1544G2033G114010She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened.G1565G4198G518G1096G3326G846G3996G2532G279911But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn't believe her.G2548G191G3754G2198G2532G2300G5259G846G56912Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country.G1161G3326G5023G5319G1722G2087G3444G1417G1537G846G4043G4198G1519G6813They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.G2548G565G518G3062G3761G4100G156514Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.G5305G5319G1733G846G345G2532G3679G846G570G2532G4641G3754G4100G3756G2300G846G145315And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.G2532G2036G846G4198G1519G537G2889G2784G2098G3956G293716Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.G4100G2532G907G4982G1161G569G263217These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.G1161G5023G4592G3877G4100G1722G3450G3686G1544G1140G2980G2537G110018They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed."G142G3789G2579G4095G5100G2286G5100G3364G984G846G2007G5495G1909G732G2532G2192G257319When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand.G3303G3767G3326G2962G2980G846G353G1519G3772G2532G2523G1537G1188G231620And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.G1161G1565G1831G2784G3837G2962G4903G2532G950G3056G1223G4592G1872G281
