Mark 16:15-20

15 And He said to them, "¹Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

16 "²He 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: ³in My name they will cast out demons, they will ⁴speak with new tongues;

18 they will ⁵pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will ⁶lay hands on the sick, and they will recover *."

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had ⁷spoken to them, He ⁸was received up into heaven and ⁹sat 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. ]
