Mark 16

Jesus Comes Back to Life
(Matthew 28:1–10; Luke 24:1–12; John 20:1–10)
1When the day of rest—a holy day, was over, Mary from Magdala, Mary (the mother of James), and Salome bought spices to go and anoint Jesus.
2On Sunday they were going to the tomb very early when the sun had just come up. 3They said to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. It was a very large stone. 5As they went into the tomb, they saw a young man. He was dressed in a white robe and sat on the right side. They were panic-stricken.
6The young man said to them, “Don’t panic! You’re looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been brought back to life. He’s not here. Look at the place where they laid him. 7Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he’s going ahead of them to Galilee. There they will see him, just as he told them.”
8They went out of the tomb and ran away. Shock and trembling had overwhelmed them. They didn’t say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid.#16:8 Some manuscripts and translations end Mark here; some add verses 9–20.
Jesus Appears to His Followers
9After Jesus came back to life early on Sunday, he appeared first to Mary from Magdala, from whom he had forced out seven demons. 10She went and told his friends, who were grieving and crying. 11They didn’t believe her when they heard that he was alive and that she had seen him.
12Later Jesus appeared to two disciples as they were walking to their home in the country. He did not look as he usually did. 13They went back and told the others, who did not believe them either. 14Still later Jesus appeared to the eleven apostles while they were eating. He put them to shame for their unbelief and because they were too stubborn to believe those who had seen him alive.
15Then Jesus said to them, “So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17“These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. 18They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them.”
19After talking with the apostles, the Lord was taken to heaven, where he received the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the throne.
20The disciples spread ⌞the Good News⌟ everywhere. The Lord worked with them. He confirmed his word by the miraculous signs that accompanied it.

Jesus Is Raised

And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.#The Gospel of Mark ends at this point in some manuscripts, including two of the most important ones, while other manuscripts supply a shorter ending (sometimes included as part of v. 8), others supply the traditional longer ending (vv. 9–20), and still other manuscripts supply both the shorter ending and vv. 9–20; due to significant questions about the authenticity of these alternative endings, many scholars regard 16:8 as the last verse of the Gospel of Mark
The Shorter Ending of Mark
〚So they promptly reported all the things they had been commanded to those around Peter. And after these things, Jesus himself also sent out through them from the east even as far as the west the holy and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.〛
The Longer Ending of Mark
〚9Now early on the first day of the week, after he#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the participle (“rose”) which is understood as temporal rose, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had expelled seven demons. 10She went out and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went out”) has been translated as a finite verb announced it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to those who were with him while they#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were”) which is understood as temporal were mourning and weeping. 11And those, when they#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as temporal heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, refused to believe it.#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation 12And after these things, he appeared in a different form to two of them as they#*Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were walking”) which is understood as temporal were walking, while they#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were going out”) which is understood as temporal were going out into the countryside. 13And these went and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went”) has been translated as a finite verb reported it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to the others, and they did not believe them. 14And later, while#*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the participle (“were reclining at table”) which is understood as temporal they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven.
