Mark · Chapter 16

[ edit] And whanne þe ſaboþ hadde paſſid, Marie Mawdeleyn, and Marie of James, and Salome bouȝten oynementis, þat þei comynge ſchulden anoynte Jheſu. And ful eerly in oon of woke dayes, þei camen to þe ſepulcre, þe ſunne now ſprungen vp. And þei ſeiden to gidere, Who ſchal turne aȝen to vs þe ſtoon fro þe dore of þe ſepulcre? And þei biholdinge ſyȝen þe ſtoon walewid awey, forſoþ it was ful greet. And þei goynge yn into þe ſepulcre ſyȝen a ȝong oon, hilid wiþ a whit ſtoole, ſittinge at þe riȝt half; and þei weren abaiſt, or greetli aferd. Þe which ſeiþ to hem, Nyle ȝe drede; ȝe ſeken Jheſu of Nazareþ crucified; he haþ riſun, he is not heere; lo! þe place where þei puttiden him.

But go ȝe, ſeye ȝe to his diſciplis, and to Petre, for he ſchal go byfore ȝou in to Galilee; þere ȝe ſchulen ſe him, as he ſeide to ȝou. And þei goynge out fledden fro þe ſepulcre; forſoþe drede and quakynge hadde aſſaylid hem, or gon in to hem, and to no man þei ſeiden ony þing, forſoþ þei dredden. Soþly Jheſus, ryſinge erly in þe firſt day of þe wouke, apperide firſte to Mary Mawdeleyn, of whom he hadde caſt out ſeuene deuelis. She goynge tolde to hem þat weren wiþ him, hem weylinge and wepynge. And þei heeringe þat he lyuede, and was ſeyn of hir, bileueden not. Soþli after þes þingis tweyne of hem wandringe, he is ſchewid in an oþer lykneſſe, or figure, to hem goynge in to a toun.

And þei goynge toolden to oþere, neþir þei bileuyden to hem. Forſoþ at þe laſte, hem enleuene reſtinge, Jheſus apperide to hem, and reprouyde þe vnbileue of hem, and þe hardneſſe of herte, for þei bileuyden not to hem, þat hadden ſeyn him to haue riſun fro deede. And he ſeide to hem, Ȝe goynge in to al þe world, preche þe goſpel to ech creature. He þat ſchal bileue, and ſchal be baptiſid, or criſtenyd, ſchal be ſauyd; ſoþli he þat ſchal bileue not, ſchal be dampned. Forſoþ þeſe tokenes ſchulen ſue hem, þat ſchulen bileue.

In my name þei ſchulen caſt out fendis; þei ſchulen ſpeke wiþ newe tungis; þei ſchulen do awey ſerpentis; and if þei ſchulen drynke ony venym, or deedli þing, þat bryngiþ deeþ, it ſchal not noye hem. Þei ſchulen putte hir hondis vpon ſike men, and þei ſchulen haue wel. And ſoþli þe Lord Jheſu, aftir þat he hadde ſpoke to hem, is takun vp in to heuene, and ſittiþ on þe riȝþalf of God. Soþli þei gon forþ prechiden euerywhere, þe Lord worchinge wiþ, and conferminge þe word wiþ ſignes folowinge. Here endiþ Mark, and now bigynneþ Luk.
