1 And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalena, and Mary [the mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatics, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And in the morning of the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre as the sun arose.
3 And they said among them. selves: Who will roll back for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre ?
4 And they looked, and saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.
5 And entering the sepulchre, they saw a youth sitting on the right hand, and clothed in a white robe: and they were in perturbation.
6 But he said to them: Be not affrighted. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold the place where he was laid.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Cephas: Lo, he precedeth you into Galilee; there will ye see him, as he said to you.
8 And when they heard, they fled and left the sepulchre; for astonishment and trembling had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were in fear.
9 And in the morning of the first day of the week, he arose; and he appeared first to Mary Magdalena, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping.
11 And they, when they heard [the women] say that he was alive, and that he had appeared to them, did not believe them.
12 After this he appeared, under another aspect, to two of them as they walked and went into the country.
13 And these went and told the rest; but they would not believe them
14 And at last, he appeared to the eleven: as they reclined at table; and he reproved the slenderness of their faith, and the hardness of their heart; because they believed not those who had seen him actually risen.
15 And he said to them: Go ye into all the world, and proclaim my tidings in the whole creation.
16 He that believeth, and is baptized, liveth; but he that believeth not, is condemned.
17 And these signs shall attend them that believe: In my name, they will cast out demons; and in new tongues will they speak.
18 And they will take up serpents; and if they should drink a deadly poison, it will not harm them; and they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.
19 And Jesus, our Lord, after he had conversed with them, ascended to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere: and our Lord aided them, and confirmed their discourses by the signs which they wrought.
Completion of the Holy Gospels, the announcement of Mark; which he uttered and proclaimed in Latin at Rome.
