Mark 16:9-19 NAS
Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first
appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.
She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were
mourning and weeping. When they heard that He was alive and had been
seen by her, they refused to believe it. After
that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were
walking along on their way to the country. They went away and
reported it to others, but they did not believe them either. Afterward
He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the
table; and He approached them for their unbelief and hardness of
heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had
risen. And He said to them, "Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has
believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved
shall be condemned. These sign will accompany those who have
believed; in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it
will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover." So
then when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into
heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
