| 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. |
