In those days,
The risen Jesus appeared to the eleven Apostles and said to them:
"Go to the whole world.
Proclaim the Gospel to all creation.
He who believes and is baptized
will be saved;
he who refuses to believe
will be condemned.
Here are the signs that will accompany
those who become believers :
in my name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take snakes in their hands
and if they drink a deadly poison,
he won't hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick,
and the sick will be well off.
The Lord Jesus,
after talking to them,
was taken up to heaven
and sat down at the right hand of God.
As for them,
they set off to proclaim the Gospel everywhere.
The Lord was working with them
and confirmed the Word by the signs that accompanied it.
Mk 16:15-20
