MARK 16:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.”
When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons — the longer ending (verses 9–20) is absent from the oldest and best manuscripts and was likely added in the second century to supplement the abrupt ending of verse 8. The appearance to Mary Magdalene first is consistent with John 20:11–18. The specification that Jesus drove seven demons from her is consistent with Luke 8:2 but adds new information to Mark.
