"After JESUS rose early on the first day of the week, HE appeared first to Mary of Magdala, from whom HE had driven out seven demons. She went and reported the news to HIS followers, who were now mourning and weeping. But when they heard that HE lived, and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
After this HE showed HIMSELF in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. These men also went back and told the others, but they did not believe them .
Later JESUS showed HIMSELF to the Eleven while they were at table. HE reproached them for their unbelief, and hardness of heart, in refusing to believe those who had seen HIM after HE had risen.
Then HE told them, 'Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation.'" - Mark 16:9-15
(The Good News is the seed that will be planted in the world and will flourish, in its proper time, in every field of human endeavor. Salvation is not a matter of saving isolated souls or individual beings. The Gospel is to be proclaimed to all creation in all activities and acts of those who have been renewed by baptism. They are to be the yeast that transforms human history.)
