(KJV) Mark 161

<< Mark 15 Luke 1 >>

The Resurrection[ Matthew 28:1–10 Luke 24:1–12 John 20:1–9 ]

[1] And when2 the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene3, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet4 spices, that they might come and anoint him. [2] And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.56 [3] And they said among themselves, Who7 shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? [4] And when they looked, they saw8 that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. [5] And entering9 into the sepulchre, they saw a young10 man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they11 were affrighted. [6] And he saith unto them, Be not12 affrighted: Ye seek13 Jesus14 of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen15; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. [7] But go your way, tell16 his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there17 shall ye see him, as he said unto you. [8] And they went18 out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled19 and were amazed: neither20 said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene[ John 20:10–18 ]

[9] Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first21 [day] of the week, he appeared22 first to Mary Magdalene, out23 of whom he had cast seven devils. [10] [And] she went and told them that had been with him, as24 they mourned and wept. [11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed25 not.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples[ Luke 24:13–35 ]

[12] After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.26 [13] And they went27 and told [it] unto the residue: neither28 believed they them.

The Great Commission[ Matthew 28:16–20 ]

[14] Afterward he appeared29 unto the eleven as they sat at meat30, and upbraided31 them with their unbelief32 and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. [15] And he said unto them, Go33 ye into34 all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and35 is36 baptized shall be saved; but37 he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these38 signs shall follow them that believe; In39 my name shall they40 cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take41 up serpents; and if42 they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay43 hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Ascension[ Luke 24:50–53 Acts 1:6–11 ]

[19] So then after44 the Lord had spoken unto them, he was45 received up into heaven, and sat46 on the right hand of God. [20] And they went47 forth, and preached every where, the Lord48 working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

<< Mark 15 Luke 1 >>


  1. Mark 16:1, An Angel declares the resurrection of Christ to three women; Mark 16:9, Christ himself appears to Mary Magdalene; Mark 16:12, to two going into the country; Mark 16:14, then to the apostles; Mark 16:15, whom he sends forth to preach the gospel; Mark 16:19, and ascends into heaven. 

  2. Mark 15:42; Matt 28:1-10; Luke 23:54, Luke 23:56, Luke 24:1-12; John 19:31, John 20:1-10

  5. Mr. West supposes that the women made two different visits to the sepulchre, and, in consequence of that, two distinct reports to the disciples; that Mary Magdalene, with the other Mary and Salome, set out not only early, but very early in the morning, λιαν G3029, πρωι G4404, i.e., before the time appointed to meet Joanna and the other women there. (Luke 24:10). This interpretation, which is adopted by several eminent writers, is very probable, and reconciles the apparent discrepancy in the evangelists.

  10. This appears to have been a different angel from that mentioned by Matthew. The latter sat in the porch of the tomb, and had assumed a terrible appearance to overawe the guard. (Matt 28:1); but this appeared as a young man, within the sepulchre, in the inner apartment. The two angels spoken of by John (John 20:11) appeared some time after these; but whether they were the same or different cannot be ascertained; nor whether the angels which manifested themselves to the second party of women, recorded by Luke (Luke 24:4), were the same or different.

  42. It is fully asserted here, that the apostles of our Lord should not lose their life by poison, and there is neither record nor tradition to disprove it. But it is worthy of remark, that Mohammed, who styled himself the apostle of God, lost his life by poison; and, had he been a true prophet, or a true apostle of God, he would not have fallen into the snare. 2Kgs 4:39-41
