4 But when they looked up , they saw that
the stone , which was very large , had been rolled away . 5 As they en tered the tomb , they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sit ting on the right side , and they were alarmed .
6 “ Don ’ t be alarmed ,” he said . “ You are
look ing for Jesus the Naz a rene , who was cru ci fied . He has ris en ! He is not here . See the place where they laid him . 7 But go , tell his dis ci ples and Pe ter , ‘ He is go ing ahead of you into Gal i lee . There you will see him , just as he told you .’ ”

They said noth ing to any one , be cause they were afraid . a of whom he had driv en sev en de mons . 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourn ing and weep ing . 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him , they did not be lieve it .

15 He said to them , “ Go into all the world and
preach the gos pel to all cre a tion . 16 Who ev er believes and is bap tized will be saved , but who ev er does not be lieve will be con demned . 17 And these signs will ac com pa ny those who be lieve : In my name they will drive out de mons ; they will speak in new tongues ; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands ; and when they drink dead ly poi son , it will not hurt them at all ; they will place their hands on sick peo ple , and they will get well .”
19 Af ter the Lord Jesus had spo ken to them , he
