(9)And having risen early, on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary the Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. (10)She went and reported it to those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. (11)And they, hearing that he is alive, and was seen by her, believed not. (12)After that he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked, going into the country. (13)They also went and reported it to the rest; nor did they believe them. (14)Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they reclined at table, and upbraided their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who saw him after he was risen. (15)And he said to them: Go into all the world, and preach the good news to every creature. (16)He that believes and is immersed shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be condemned. (17)And these signs shall accompany those who have believed; in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; (18)they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them, they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (19)The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God; (20)and they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE. I. FORASMUCH as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration concerning the things fully believed among us[1:1], (2)as they, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, delivered them to us; (3)it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced all from the very first, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus; (4)that thou mightest know the certainty concerning those things[1:4] wherein thou wast instructed. (5)There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, Zachariah by name, of the course of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. (6)And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. (7)And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren; and they both were now far advanced in years.
