Texts -- Mark 16:14-20 (NET)

Context
16:14 Then he appeared to the eleven themselves, while they were eating , and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart , because they did not believe those who had seen him resurrected . 16:15 He said to them , “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature . 16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved , but the one who does not believe will be condemned . 16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe : In my name they will drive out demons ; they will speak in new languages ; 16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands , and whatever poison they drink will not harm them ; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well .” 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them , he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God . 16:20 They went out and proclaimed everywhere , while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs .]]
