Mark 16:11-20

11 When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, 1they refused to believe it.
12 After that, 2He appeared in a different form 3to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country.
13 They went away and reported it to the others, but they 4did not believe them either.

The Disciples Commissioned

14 Afterward 5He appeared 6to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their 7unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, "8Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
16 "9He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
17 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: 10in My name they will cast out demons, they will 11speak with new tongues;
18 they will 12pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will 13lay hands on the sick, and they will recover *."
19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had 14spoken to them, He 15was received up into heaven and 16sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. ]
