16:2 And exceedingly early in the morning on the first day of the week, they are coming upon the tomb when the sun had risen.
16:3 And they were saying among themselves, Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?
16:4 And looking up, they view that the stone has been rolled away; for* it was extremely great.
16:5 And entering into the tomb, they saw a young-man sitting at the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed.

16:6 And he says to them, Do not be utterly amazed. You* seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has arose. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.
16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He precedes you* into Galilee. You* will see him there, like he said to you*.
16:8 And they went out and fled from the tomb. Now this held them in trembling and astonishment and they said nothing to anyone; for* they were afraid.

16:9 Now when he had risen* in the morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

16:11 And when they heard that he is alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

16:13 And they went away and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them.
{Mk 16:14 & Lk 24:36-43 & Jn 20:19-25 Sunday Evening.}

16:14 And later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they reclined at a meal, and he reproached their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had arisen.

16:15 And he said to them, As you* are going into all the world, preach the good-news to the whole creation.
16:16 He who believes and is immersed* will be saved, but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: they will cast out demons in my name; they will speak in new languages;
16:18 they will lift up serpents and even if they drink anything deadly, it may never* harm them; they will lay hands upon the sick and they will be well.

16:20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working together with them and confirming the word through the signs that followed. Amen.
