MSB MARK Chapter 16

The Resurrection

(Matthew 28:1–10, Luke 24:1–12, John 20:1–9)

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go [and] anoint [the body of Jesus]. 2 Very early on the first [day] of the week,[fn] just after sunrise they went to the tomb. 3 They were asking one another,“Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them,“{Do} not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him, just as He told you.’ ”

So [the women] left the tomb and ran away,[fn] vvv trembling and bewildered. And vvv in their fear they did not say [a word to anyone].[fn]

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

(John 20:10–18)

Early [on the] first [day] of the week, after [Jesus] had risen,[fn] He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons. 10 She went [and] told those who had been with Him, who were mourning and weeping. 11 And when they heard that [Jesus] was alive and she had seen Him they did not believe [it].

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

(Luke 24:13–35)

After [this], [Jesus] appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked along in [the] country.

And they went back and reported [it] to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

The Great Commission

(Matthew 28:16–20)

Later, as they were eating, [Jesus] appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because vvv they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.[fn]

And He said to them,“Go into all the world [and] preach the gospel to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany[fn] those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;[fn] 18 they will pick up snakes,[fn] and if they drink any deadly poison, vvv vvv it will not harm them; they will lay [their] hands on [the] sick, and they will be made well.”

The Ascension

(Luke 24:50–53, Acts 1:6–11)

After the Lord[fn] had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at [the] right hand of God.

And they went out [and] preached everywhere, [and] the Lord worked through [them], confirming [His] word by the signs that accompanied [it]. Amen.[fn]
