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

¹⁰ She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. ¹¹ But they, although they heard that he was living and had been seen by her did not believe it. ¹² After this he appeared in another form to two of them as they were walking on their way into the country. ¹³ They too went, and told the others; but they did not believe them, either.

¹⁴ Afterward he appeared to the Eleven themselves, as they were eating, and reproached them for their lack of faith, and stubborn hearts, because they disbelieved those who had seen him risen. ¹⁵ And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. ¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who disbelieves shall be condemned. ¹⁷ Moreover these signs shall follow those who believe. They shall drive out demons in my name; they shall speak with new tongues in foreign languages; ¹⁸ they shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any poison it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

¹⁹ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ But they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the miracles which followed.

⁹ and Urbanus, my fellow toiler in Christ; and Stachys, my dear, dear friend. ¹⁰ Salute Apellas, tested and tried in Christ, and the household of Aristobulus, ¹¹ and Herodion, my kinsman. Salute the believing members of the household of Narcissus. ¹² Salute Trypheana and Tryphosa, who are ever toiling in the Lord. Salute dear Persis, who has toiled terribly in the Lord's service. ¹³ Salute Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. ¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are associated with them. ¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, Olympas, and all the saints associated with them. ¹⁶ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned. ¹⁸ Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁹ I say this, for the tidings of your obedience have been told throughout the world. On your own behalf, then, I rejoice; but I want you to be wise unto the good, but innocents in evil. ²⁰ The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
