Mark 16:14-20

The Disciples Commissioned

14 Afterward ¹He appeared ²to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their ³unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15 And He said to them, "⁴Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

16 "⁵He 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: ⁶in My name they will cast out demons, they will ⁷speak with new tongues;

18 they will ⁸pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will ⁹lay hands on the sick, and they will recover *."

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had ¹⁰spoken to them, He ¹¹was received up into heaven and ¹²sat 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. ]
