Mark 16
16
The Resurrection of Jesus.#The purpose of this narrative is to show that the tomb is empty and that Jesus has been raised (Mk 16:6) and is going before you to Galilee (Mk 16:7) in fulfillment of Mk 14:28. The women find the tomb empty, and an angel stationed there announces to them what has happened. They are told to proclaim the news to Peter and the disciples in order to prepare them for a reunion with him. Mark’s composition of the gospel ends at Mk 16:8 with the women telling no one, because they were afraid. This abrupt termination causes some to believe that the original ending of this gospel may have been lost. See the following note. 1When the sabbath was over,#Mt 28:1–8; Lk 24:1–10; Jn 20:1–10. Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him.#Mt 28:1; Lk 23:56. 2Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. 3They were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. 5On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed.#Jn 20:12. 6He said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. 7But go and tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.’”#14:28. 8Then they went out and fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and bewilderment. They said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
THE LONGER ENDING#This passage, termed the Longer Ending to the Marcan gospel by comparison with a much briefer conclusion found in some less important manuscripts, has traditionally been accepted as a canonical part of the gospel and was defined as such by the Council of Trent. Early citations of it by the Fathers indicate that it was composed by the second century, although vocabulary and style indicate that it was written by someone other than Mark. It is a general resume of the material concerning the appearances of the risen Jesus, reflecting, in particular, traditions found in Lk 24 and Jn 20.The Shorter Ending: Found after Mk 16:8 before the Longer Ending in four seventh-to-ninth-century Greek manuscripts as well as in one Old Latin version, where it appears alone without the Longer Ending.The Freer Logion: Found after Mk 16:14 in a fourth-fifth century manuscript preserved in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, this ending was known to Jerome in the fourth century. It reads: “And they excused themselves, saying, ‘This age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who does not allow the truth and power of God to prevail over the unclean things dominated by the spirits [or, does not allow the unclean things dominated by the spirits to grasp the truth and power of God]. Therefore reveal your righteousness now.’ They spoke to Christ. And Christ responded to them, ‘The limit of the years of Satan’s power is completed, but other terrible things draw near. And for those who sinned I was handed over to death, that they might return to the truth and no longer sin, in order that they might inherit the spiritual and incorruptible heavenly glory of righteousness. But….’”
The Appearance to Mary Magdalene. [9#Mt 28:1–10; Jn 20:11–18. When he had risen, early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10#Lk 24:10–11; Jn 20:18. She went and told his companions who were mourning and weeping. 11When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
The Appearance to Two Disciples. 12#Lk 24:13–35. After this he appeared in another form to two of them walking along on their way to the country. 13They returned and told the others; but they did not believe them either.
The Commissioning of the Eleven. 14#Lk 24:36–49; 1 Cor 15:5. [But] later, as the eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised. 15#13:10; Mt 28:18–20; Lk 24:47; Jn 20:21. He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. 18They will pick up serpents [with their hands], and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”#Mt 10:1; Lk 10:19; Acts 28:3–6.
The Ascension of Jesus. 19So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.#Lk 24:50–53. 20But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.]#1 Tm 3:16.
THE SHORTER ENDING
[And they reported all the instructions briefly to Peter’s companions. Afterwards Jesus himself, through them, sent forth from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.]

1And when Shabbos had ended, Miryam of Magdala and Miryam Em of Ya'akov, and Shlomit bought spices in order that they might go and anoint him.
2And at Shachrit on Yom Rishon, the first day of the shavua (week), the shemesh (sun) just coming up, they come to the kever.
3And they were saying to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the kever?
4And having looked up they observe that the stone, which was extremely large, had already been rolled aside!
5And having entered into the kever, they saw a young man enrobed in white, sitting on the right side, and they were shocked with astonishment.
6But he says to them, Do not be alarmed. You seek Yehoshua/Yeshua from Natzeret, who has been made talui al HaEtz (being hanged on the Tree). He has been made to stand up alive. He is not here. Hinei the place where they laid him.
7But go tell his talmidim and Kefa that he goes before you into the Galil. There you will see him, just as he told you.#16:7 Mt 26:32
8And having gone out, they fled from the kever, and trembling and amazement seized them. And they told no one anything, for they were afraid.
9 # 16:9 The following verses are an integral portion of the inspired record delivered from early times to the Kehillah of Hashem and should be feared as the canonical, inspired and inerrant Word of G-d. And now after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach stood up alive early on Yom Rishon he appeared rishonah (first) to Miryam of Magdala, from whom he had cast out shiva shedim.
10She went out and announced to the ones who had been with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach while they were in avelut (mourning) and weeping.
11And those who heard that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach lives and he was seen by her, refused to have emunah.
12And after these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appeared in another form to two of them walking along into the country.
13And those went and reported to the rest, but the rest did not have emunah either.
14But later Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach appeared to the Achad Asar (The Eleven), themselves reclining at tish, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach reproached them for their lack of emunah and the KESHI#16:14 Dt 9:27 (stubbornness, hardness) of their levavot (hearts), because they had not believed those who saw Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach after he had been made to stand up alive.
15And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Go into kol haOlam (all the World), and proclaim the Besuras haGeulah to all HaBriah (the Creation).
16The one having had emunah (faith) and having submitted to a tevilah of teshuva (immersion of repentance) will be delivered in the Yeshu'at Eloheinu (Salvation of our G-d), but the one not having emunah will come under the gezar din (verdict) of harshaah (condemnation as guilty).
17And these otot (signs) will accompany those that have emunah. BiShmi (In my Name) they will cast out shedim (demons); they will speak with leshonot chadashot#16:17 Ac 2:4; 10:45-46 (new tongues);
18And with their hands they will pick up nechashim#16:18 Ac 28:3-5 (snakes); and, if any deadly poison they drink, it will in no way harm them; upon [the] cholim (sick people) they will lay their hands and they will bring them refuah.
19And then Adoneinu Yehoshua, after speaking to them, was taken up into Shomayim and VYASHAV LIMIN HASHEM (sat down at the right hand of Hashem).#16:19 Ps 110:1
20And those having gone forth preached the Hachrazah (Proclamation, Kerygma) everywhere, [while] Adonoi was working with them, confirming the Besuras HaGeulah through the accompanying otot (signs). Omein.
