Mark 16:9-20 include these verses.

Mark 16:17 - This is specifically referring to the apostles, although it may also refer to those who believed and had been given spiritual gifts by the apostles. It certainly does not refer to all believers up to the present time, as we know from other passages.

Jesus is Lord
