GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
1
When the day of worship was over, Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of James), and Salome bought spices to go and anoint Jesus.
2 And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
2
On Sunday they were going to the tomb very early when the sun had just come up.
3 And they said among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?"
3
They said to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very large.
4
When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was a very large stone.
5 And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were frightened.
5
As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man. He was dressed in a white robe and sat on the right side. They were panic-stricken.
6 And he said unto them, "Be not afraid. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.
6
The young man said to them, "Don't panic! You're looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been brought back to life. He's not here. Look at the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way. Tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee. There shall ye see Him, as He said unto you."
7
Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he's going ahead of them to Galilee. There they will see him, just as he told them."
8 And they went out quickly and fled from the sepulcher, for they trembled and were amazed; neither said they any thing to any man, for they were afraid.
8
They went out of the tomb and ran away. Shock and trembling had overwhelmed them. They didn't say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.
9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils.
9
After Jesus came back to life early on Sunday, he appeared first to Mary from Magdala, from whom he had forced out seven demons.
10 And she went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.
10
She went and told his friends, who were grieving and crying.
11 And they, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, believed not.
11
They didn't believe her when they heard that he was alive and that she had seen him.
12 After that, He appeared in another form unto two of them as they walked and went into the country.
12
Later Jesus appeared to two disciples as they were walking to their home in the country. He did not look as he usually did.
13 And they went and told it unto the rest, but neither did they believe them.
13
They went back and told the others, who did not believe them either.
14 Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat; and He upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who had seen Him after He was risen.
14
Still later Jesus appeared to the eleven apostles while they were eating. He put them to shame for their unbelief and because they were too stubborn to believe those who had seen him alive.
15 And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.
15
Then Jesus said to them, "So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
17
"These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages.
18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
18
They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them."
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into Heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
19
After talking with the apostles, the Lord was taken to heaven, where God gave him the highest position.
20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.
20
The disciples spread [the Good News] everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He confirmed his word by the miraculous signs that accompanied it.
