16 Lorsque le sabbat fut passé, Marie de Magdala, Marie, mère de Jacques, et Salomé, achetèrent des aromates, afin d'aller embaumer Jésus.

Le premier jour de la semaine, elles se rendirent au sépulcre, de grand matin, comme le soleil venait de se lever.

Elles disaient entre elles: Qui nous roulera la pierre loin de l'entrée du sépulcre?

Et, levant les yeux, elles aperçurent que la pierre, qui était très grande, avait été roulée.

Elles entrèrent dans le sépulcre, virent un jeune homme assis à droite vêtu d'une robe blanche, et elles furent épouvantées.

Il leur dit: Ne vous épouvantez pas; vous cherchez Jésus de Nazareth, qui a été crucifié; il est ressuscité, il n'est point ici; voici le lieu où on l'avait mis.

Mais allez dire à ses disciples et à Pierre qu'il vous précède en Galilée: c'est là que vous le verrez, comme il vous l'a dit.

Elles sortirent du sépulcre et s'enfuirent. La peur et le trouble les avaient saisies; et elles ne dirent rien à personne, à cause de leur effroi.

Jésus, étant ressuscité le matin du premier jour de la semaine, apparut d'abord à Marie de Magdala, de laquelle il avait chassé sept démons.

10 Elle alla en porter la nouvelle à ceux qui avaient été avec lui, et qui s'affligeaient et pleuraient.

11 Quand ils entendirent qu'il vivait, et qu'elle l'avait vu, ils ne le crurent point.

12 Après cela, il apparut, sous une autre forme, à deux d'entre eux qui étaient en chemin pour aller à la campagne.

13 Ils revinrent l'annoncer aux autres, qui ne les crurent pas non plus.

14 Enfin, il apparut aux onze, pendant qu'ils étaient à table; et il leur reprocha leur incrédulité et la dureté de leur coeur, parce qu'ils n'avaient pas cru ceux qui l'avaient vu ressuscité.

15 Puis il leur dit: Allez par tout le monde, et prêchez la bonne nouvelle à toute la création.

16 Celui qui croira et qui sera baptisé sera sauvé, mais celui qui ne croira pas sera condamné.

17 Voici les miracles qui accompagneront ceux qui auront cru: en mon nom, ils chasseront les démons; ils parleront de nouvelles langues;

18 ils saisiront des serpents; s'ils boivent quelque breuvage mortel, il ne leur feront point de mal; ils imposeront les mains aux malades, et les malades, seront guéris.

19 Le Seigneur, après leur avoir parlé, fut enlevé au ciel, et il s'assit à la droite de Dieu.

20 Et ils s'en allèrent prêcher partout. Le Seigneur travaillait avec eux, et confirmait la parole par les miracles qui l'accompagnaient.

The Resurrection

16 Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on Sunday morning,[a] just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,[b] who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”

The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened.[c]


[The most ancient manuscripts of Mark conclude with verse 16:8. Later manuscripts add one or both of the following endings.]

[Shorter Ending of Mark]

Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen.

[Longer Ending of Mark]

After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. 11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her.

12 Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country. 13 They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them.

14 Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.[d]

15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.[e] 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

Footnotes

  1. 16:2 Greek on the first day of the week; also in 16:9.
  2. 16:6 Or Jesus the Nazarene.
  3. 16:8 The most reliable early manuscripts of the Gospel of Mark end at verse 8. Other manuscripts include various endings to the Gospel. A few include both the “shorter ending” and the “longer ending.” The majority of manuscripts include the “longer ending” immediately after verse 8.
  4. 16:14 Some early manuscripts add: And they excused themselves, saying, “This age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who does not permit God’s truth and power to conquer the evil [unclean] spirits. Therefore, reveal your justice now.” This is what they said to Christ. And Christ replied to them, “The period of years of Satan’s power has been fulfilled, but other dreadful things will happen soon. And I was handed over to death for those who have sinned, so that they may return to the truth and sin no more, and so they may inherit the spiritual, incorruptible, and righteous glory in heaven.”
  5. 16:17 Or new tongues; some manuscripts do not include new.
