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

⁹ AND having arisen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary the Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons. ¹⁰ She went and told those who had been with him, who were weeping and lamenting; ¹¹ and when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they did not believe it. ¹² Afterwards he appeared in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country. ¹³ And they went and announced it to the rest; they did not believe it.

¹⁴ And afterwards he appeared to the eleven, as they reclined, and reproached their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who had seen him since he rose from the dead. ¹⁵ And he said to them, Go into all the world, preach the good news to all the creation; ¹⁶ he that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that disbelieves shall be condemned. ¹⁷ And these signs shall follow those that believe; in my name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with new tongues, ¹⁸ they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly [poison] it shall not hurt them; and they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall be well.

¹⁹ Then the Lord, after speaking with them, was taken up to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. ²⁰ And they went abroad and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the accompanying miracles.

⁹ Salute Urbanus our co-laborer in Christ, and Stachus my beloved. ¹⁰ Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those of the [family] of Aristobulus. ¹¹ Salute Herodion, my relative. Salute those of the [family] of Narcissus who are in the Lord. ¹² Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labored in the Lord. Salute Persis the beloved, who labored much in the Lord. ¹³ Salute Rufus the elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine. ¹⁴ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them. ¹⁵ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them. ¹⁶ Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

¹⁷ I exhort you, brothers, to observe those that cause dissensions and offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned, and avoid them; ¹⁸ for such serve not our anointed Lord, but themselves, And by kind and complimentary words deceive the minds of the simple.

¹⁹ For your obedience has come to all; I rejoice in you therefore, but I wish you to be wise for that which is good, and simple for evil. ²⁰ And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
