1 Και αφού επέρασε το σάββατον, Μαρία η Μαγδαληνή και Μαρία η μήτηρ του Ιακώβου και η Σαλώμη ηγόρασαν αρώματα, διά να έλθωσι και αλείψωσιν αυτόν. 2 Και πολλά πρωΐ της πρώτης ημέρας της εβδομάδος έρχονται εις το μνημείον, ότε ανέτειλεν ο ήλιος. 3 Και έλεγον προς εαυτάς· Τις θέλει αποκυλίσει εις ημάς τον λίθον εκ της θύρας του μνημείου; 4 Και αναβλέψασαι θεωρούσιν ότι ο λίθος ήτο αποκεκυλισμένος· διότι ήτο μέγας σφόδρα. 5 Και εισελθούσαι εις το μνημείον είδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον εις τα δεξιά, ενδεδυμένον στολήν λευκήν, και ετρόμαξαν. 6 Ο δε λέγει προς αυτάς· Μη τρομάζετε· Ιησούν ζητείτε τον Ναζαρηνόν τον εσταυρωμένον· ανέστη, δεν είναι εδώ· ιδού ο τόπος, όπου έθεσαν αυτόν. 7 Αλλ' υπάγετε, είπατε προς τους μαθητάς αυτού και προς τον Πέτρον ότι υπάγει πρότερον υμών εις την Γαλιλαίαν· εκεί θέλετε ιδεί αυτόν, καθώς είπε προς εσάς. 8◆ Και εξελθούσαι ταχέως, έφυγον από του μνημείου· είχε δε αυτάς τρόμος και έκστασις, και δεν είπον ουδέν προς ουδένα· διότι εφοβούντο. 9◆ Αφού δε ανέστη το πρωΐ της πρώτης της εβδομάδος, εφάνη πρώτον εις την Μαρίαν την Μαγδαληνήν, εξ ης είχεν εκβάλει επτά δαιμόνια. 10◆ Εκείνη υπήγε και απήγγειλε προς εκείνους, οίτινες είχον σταθή μετ' αυτού, ενώ επένθουν και έκλαιον. 11◆ Και εκείνοι, ακούσαντες ότι ζη και εθεάθη υπ' αυτής, δεν επίστευσαν. 12◆ Μετά δε ταύτα εφανερώθη εν άλλη μορφή εις δύο εξ αυτών, ενώ περιεπάτουν και επορεύοντο εις τον αγρόν. 13◆ Και εκείνοι υπήγαν και απήγγειλαν προς τους λοιπούς· αλλ' ουδέ εις εκείνους επίστευσαν. 14◆ Ύστερον εφάνη εις τους ένδεκα, ενώ εκάθηντο εις την τράπεζαν, και ωνείδισε την απιστίαν αυτών και σκληροκαρδίαν, διότι δεν επίστευσαν εις τους ιδόντας αυτόν αναστάντα. 15◆ Και είπε προς αυτούς· Υπάγετε εις όλον τον κόσμον και κηρύξατε το ευαγγέλιον εις όλην την κτίσιν. 16◆ Όστις πιστεύση και βαπτισθή θέλει σωθή, όστις όμως απιστήση θέλει κατακριθή. 17◆ Σημεία δε εις τους πιστεύσαντας θέλουσι παρακολουθεί ταύτα, Εν τω ονόματί μου θέλουσιν εκβάλλει δαιμόνια· θέλουσι λαλεί νέας γλώσσας· 18◆ όφεις θέλουσι πιάνει· και εάν θανάσιμόν τι πίωσι, δεν θέλει βλάψει αυτούς· επί αρρώστους θέλουσιν επιθέσει τας χείρας, και θέλουσιν ιατρεύεσθαι. 19◆ Ο μεν λοιπόν Κύριος, αφού ελάλησεν προς αυτούς, ανελήφθη εις τον ουρανόν και εκάθισεν εκ δεξιών του Θεού. 20◆ Εκείνοι δε εξελθόντες εκήρυξαν πανταχού, συνεργούντος του Κυρίου και βεβαιούντος το κήρυγμα διά των επακολουθούντων θαυμάτων. Αμήν.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Mark 16:9–20: the longer ending of Mark
The two oldest complete Greek Bibles end the Gospel of Mark at 16:8, with the women fleeing the tomb in fear. Most later manuscripts continue with verses 9–20, which tell of the risen Lord’s appearances, the commission and the Ascension. The ending was known by the second century and the Orthodox Church reads it at Sunday Matins. Most scholars think it was added to Mark by another hand.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Also, towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says: "So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God;" confirming what had been spoken by the prophet: "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thy foes Thy footstool." …
So again when we hear, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;" we do not of course understand it of one who believes in such a way "as the devils believe and tremble;" nor of those who receive baptism in such sort as Simon Magus, who though he could be baptized, could not be saved.

And again, Looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising shame, and is set down on the right hand of the throne of God.

And so also the angel of the resurrection said to the woman, Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified.

Ye heard while the Gospel was read, "Go, preach the Gospel to the whole creation which is under heaven." Consequently, the disciples were sent "every where:" with signs and wonders to attest that what they spake, they had seen.
