Mark 16:10-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

10. After Mary saw Jesus, she went and told his followers. They were very sad and were crying.

11. But Mary told them that Jesus was alive. She said that she had seen him, but the followers did not believe her.

12. Later, Jesus showed himself to two of his followers while they were walking in the country. But Jesus did not look the same as before.

13. These followers went back to the others and told them what had happened. Again, the followers did not believe them.

14. Later Jesus showed himself to the 11 followers while they were eating. He criticized them because they had little faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen from death.

15. Jesus said to the followers, “Go everywhere in the world. Tell the Good News to everyone.

16. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But he who does not believe will be judged guilty.

17. And those who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force demons out of people. They will speak in languages they never learned.

18. They will pick up snakes without being hurt. And they will drink poison without being hurt. They will touch the sick, and the sick will be healed.”
