A late appendix

(Inserted in some manuscripts from an ancient source)

9 After his rising again, early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first of all to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had driven out seven demons. 10 She went and told the news to those who had been with him and who were now in sorrow and tears; 11 yet even they, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe it. 12 Afterwards, altered in appearance, he made himself known to two of them, as they were walking, on their way into the country. 13 They also went and told the rest, but they did not believe even them. 14 Later on, he made himself known to the Eleven themselves as they were at a meal, and reproached them with their want of faith and their stubbornness, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen from the dead. 15 Then he said to them, ‘Go into all the world, and proclaim the good news to all creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 Moreover these signs will attend those who believe. In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will take up snakes in their hands; and, if they drink any poison, it will not hurt them; they will place their hands on sick people and they will recover.’ 19 So the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. 20 But they set out, and made the proclamation everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the message by the signs which attended it.
