1 A nd when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

The Day of Rest was over. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They wanted to put the spices on Jesus’ body.

2 A nd very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

Very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they came to the grave. The sun had come up.

3 A nd they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

They said to themselves, “Who will roll the stone away from the door of the grave for us?”

4 A nd when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

But when they looked, they saw the very large stone had been rolled away.

5 A nd entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

They went into the grave. There they saw a young man with a long white coat sitting on the right side. They were afraid.

6 A nd he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

He said, “Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth Who was nailed to a cross. He is risen! He is not here! See, here is the place where they laid Him.

7 B ut 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.

Go and tell His followers and Peter that He is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see Him there as He told you.”

8 A nd they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

They ran from the grave shaking and were surprised. They did not say anything to anyone because they were afraid. The Followers of Jesus Do Not Believe He Was Raised from the Dead

9 N ow 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.

(It was early on the first day of the week when Jesus was raised from the dead. Mary Magdalene saw Him first. He had put seven demons out of her.

10 A nd she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

She went and told His followers. They were crying because of much sorrow.

11 A nd they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

But they did not believe her when she said she had seen Him alive.

12 A fter that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

After that He was seen again by two of His followers as they walked into the country. He did not look like He had looked before to these two people.

13 A nd they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

They went and told it to the others. The others did not believe them.

14 A fterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Later He was seen by the eleven followers as they were eating. He spoke to them with sharp words because they did not believe and their hearts were hard. And they did not believe the others who had seen Him since He had been raised from the dead. Jesus Sends His Followers to Preach

15 A nd he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He said to them, “You are to go to all the world and preach the Good News to every person.

16 H e that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

He who puts his trust in Me and is baptized will be saved from the punishment of sin. But he who does not put his trust in Me is guilty and will be punished forever.

17 A nd these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

These special powerful works will be done by those who have put their trust in Me. In My name they will put out demons. They will speak with languages they have never learned.

18 T hey 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.

They will pick up snakes. If they drink any poison, it will not hurt them. They will put their hands on the sick and they will be healed.”

19 S o then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

After Jesus had talked to them, He was taken up into heaven. He sat down on the right side of God.

20 A nd they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

The followers went from there and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them. The Lord showed that the Word of God was true by the special works they had power to do.)
