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

Mark 16:9-20

9 And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons; 10 she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping; 11 and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe. 12 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form, 13 and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

14 Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised; 15 and he said to them, 'Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; 16 he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned. 17 'And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; 18 serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'

19 The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; 20 and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.

Romans 16:9-20

9 salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved; 10 salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the household of Aristobulus; 11 salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord; 12 salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord. 13 Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine, 14 salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them; 15 salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them; 16 salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.

17 And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them; 18 for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

19 for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil; 20 and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!
