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

⁹ {The remaining twelve verses, according to Tischendorf and others, made originally no part of Marks Gospel. As the passage was added very early, however, since it is referred to by Irenaeus in the latter part of the second century, it is here given, as an appendix.} [And having risen early, on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons. ¹⁰ She went and reported it to those who had been with him, who were mourning and weeping. ¹¹ And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe. ¹² After this, he manifested himself in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country. ¹³ And they went and reported it to the rest; and even them they did not believe.

¹⁴ Afterward he manifested himself to the eleven themselves, as they were reclining at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. ¹⁵ And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to the whole creation. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized will be saved; but he that doth not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And these signs will accompany believers: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; ¹⁸ they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.

¹⁹ So then, the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God; ²⁰ and they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs which followed it.]

⁹ Salute Urbanus, our fellowlaborer in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved. ¹⁰ Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. ¹¹ Salute Herodion, my kinsman. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord. ¹² Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute Persis, the beloved, who labored much in the Lord. ¹³ Salute Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who is mine also. ¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them. ¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. ¹⁶ Salute each other with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷ But I exhort your brethren, to mark those who are causing divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them. ¹⁸ For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁹ For your obedience hath become known to all. Over you, then, I rejoice; but I would have you wise as to that which is good, and simple as to that which is evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
