9 [[Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, f he appeared first to g Mary Magdalene, g from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 h She went and told those who had been with him, i as they j mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they k would not believe it.
12 l After these things m he appeared in n another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 o And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.
14 Afterward m he appeared p to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their q unbelief and r hardness of heart, because s they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, t “Go into all the world and u proclaim the gospel to v the whole creation. 16 w Whoever believes and is x baptized y will be saved, but z whoever w does not believe will be condemned. 17 And a these signs will accompany those who believe: b in my name they will cast out demons; c they will speak in new tongues; 18 d they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; e they will lay their hands f on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then the Lord Jesus, g after he had spoken to them, h was taken up into heaven and i sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while j the Lord worked with them and confirmed k the message l by accompanying signs.]]
