Mark 16:14-20

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. ”

19 So then the Lord Jesus, ²⁰after he had spoken to them, ²¹was taken up into heaven and ²²sat down at the right hand of God.

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while ²³the Lord worked with them and confirmed ²⁴the message ²⁵by accompanying signs. ]]
