Mark 16:14-18

The Great Commission

14 Afterward 1he appeared 2to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their 3unbelief and 4hardness of heart, because 5they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.
15 And he said to them, 6"Go into all the world and 7proclaim the gospel to 8the whole creation.
16 9Whoever believes and is 10baptized 11will be saved, but 12whoever 13does not believe will be condemned.
17 And 14these signs will accompany those who believe: 15in my name they will cast out demons; 16they will speak in new tongues;
18 17they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; 18they will lay their hands 19on the sick, and they will recover."
