Excerpts for a Comparison of New Testament and
Urantia Book Accounts of the Life of Jesus
The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 16
- 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother]
of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
- 16:2 And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb
when the sun was risen.
- 16:3 And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the tomb?
- 16:4 and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was
exceeding great.
- 16:5 And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
- 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene,
who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold, the place
where they laid him!
- 16:7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee:
there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
- 16:8 And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment
had come upon them: and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid.
- 16:9 Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
- 16:10 She went and told them that had been with him,
as they mourned and wept.
- 16:11 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of
her, disbelieved.
- 16:12 And after these things he was manifested in another
form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.
- 16:13 And they went away and told it unto the rest: neither believed they
them.
- 16:14 And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven
themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief
and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him
after he was risen.
- 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
- 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth
shall be condemned.
- 16:17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall
they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
- 16:18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover.
- 16:19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto
them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
- 16:20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere,
the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed.
Amen.
