1 Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body.
1
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they could go and anoint Jesus' dead body.
2 Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.
2
Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb.
3 On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”
3
They were saying to each other, "Who's going to roll the stone away from the entrance for us?"
4 But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.
4
When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. (And it was a very large stone!)
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked,
5
Going into the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right side; and they were startled.
6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.
6
But he said to them, "Don't be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised. He isn't here. Look, here's the place where they laid him.
7 Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”
7
Go, tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you."
8 The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened. ---------- [ ] [ ] Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen.
8
Overcome with terror and dread, they fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9 After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.
9
[They promptly reported all of the young man's instructions to those who were with Peter. Afterward, through the work of his disciples, Jesus sent out, from the east to the west, the sacred and undying message of eternal salvation. Amen. ][[After Jesus rose up early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened.
10
She went and reported to the ones who had been with him, who were mourning and weeping.
11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her.
11
But even after they heard the news, they didn't believe that Jesus was alive and that Mary had seen him.
12 Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country.
12
After that he appeared in a different form to two of them who were walking along in the countryside.
13 They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.
13
When they returned, they reported it to the others, but they didn't believe them.
14 Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.
14
Finally he appeared to the eleven while they were eating. Jesus criticized their unbelief and stubbornness because they didn't believe those who saw him after he was raised up.
15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
15
He said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature.
16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn't believe will be condemned.
17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.
17
These signs will be associated with those who believe: they will throw out demons in my name. They will speak in new languages.
18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
18
They will pick up snakes with their hands. If they drink anything poisonous, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick, and they will get well."
19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
19
After the Lord Jesus spoke to them, he was lifted up into heaven and sat down on the right side of God.
20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.
20
But they went out and proclaimed the message everywhere. The Lord worked with them, confirming the word by the signs associated with them.]]
