Chapter 16 |
1 | And when the sabbath was past, Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices,
that they might come and anoint him. |
2 | And very early in the morning
the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the
sun. |
3 |
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre? |
4 | And when they looked, they saw
that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. |
5 | And entering
into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in
a long white garment; and they were affrighted. |
6 | And he saith
unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified:
he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. |
7 |
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into
Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. |
8 | And they went
out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed:
neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. |
9 | Now
when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary
Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. |
10 | And she went
and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. |
11 | And
they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed
not. |
12 |
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
they walked, and went into the country. |
13 | And they went and told it
unto the residue: neither believed they them. |
14 | Afterward he
appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their
unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen
him after he was risen. |
15 | And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature. |
16 | He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned. |
17
| And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my
name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; |
18 |
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. |
19 |
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God. |
20 | And they went forth, and
preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with
signs following. Amen. |
