Mark 16 - NIV Translation

(Mark 16:2 NIV) Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb

(Mark 16:3 NIV) and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

(Mark 16:4 NIV) But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.

(Mark 16:5 NIV) As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

(Mark 16:6 NIV) "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

(Mark 16:7 NIV) But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'"

(Mark 16:8 NIV) Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

(Mark 16:9 NIV) When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.

(Mark 16:10 NIV) She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping.

(Mark 16:11 NIV) When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

(Mark 16:12 NIV) Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.

(Mark 16:13 NIV) These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

(Mark 16:14 NIV) Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

(Mark 16:15 NIV) He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

(Mark 16:16 NIV) Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

(Mark 16:17 NIV) And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

(Mark 16:18 NIV) they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

(Mark 16:19 NIV) After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.

(Mark 16:20 NIV) Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
