Mark 16:9-20 - The Longer Ending Of Mark

Mark 16:9-20

9 Now being arisen early, on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 She going, told it to those who had been with him, as they were wailing and weeping. 11 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, gave no credit to her. 12 Then after this, he was manifested under another form, to two of them as they were walking, and going into the country. 13 And they came back and told the news to the rest; neither did they believe them.

14 Afterwards he shewed himself to the eleven, as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them for their infidelity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow those 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 potion, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover health.

19 Then the Lord, after having thus spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 But they going forth preached every where, the Lord working mightily with them, and confirming the word, by attendant miracles.

Romans 16:9-20

9 Salute Urban, our fellow-labourer in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 10 Salute Apelles the approved in Christ. Salute those who are of the family of Aristobulus. 11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute those which belong to the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. 12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have laboured hard in the Lord. Salute Persis the beloved, who laboured much in the Lord. 13 Salute Rufus elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Dermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. 15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them. 16 Salute one another with the holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, keep a sharp eye over those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine ye have learned, and turn away from them. 18 For such are not servants to our Lord Jesus Christ, but to their own belly; and by smooth speeches and flattering commendations deceive the hearts of the guileless.

19 For your obedience is gone forth in report to all men. I rejoice therefore on your account: but I wish you to be wise indeed unto good, but harmless respecting evil. 20 Now the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
