復活的清晨

16 安息日一過,茉大拉瑪麗亞雅各的母親[a]瑪麗亞莎羅美就買了香料,要去膏抹耶穌。 在一週的頭一天[b],一大清早,太陽剛出來,她們就來到墓穴那裡。 她們互相說:「誰能替我們滾開墓穴口的石頭呢?」 原來那塊石頭非常大。可是她們抬頭一看,見石頭已經被滾開了。 她們進了墓穴,看見一個年輕人[c]身穿白袍坐在右邊,就大吃一驚。

那年輕人對她們說:「不要驚慌!你們是在尋找被釘十字架的拿撒勒人耶穌,他已經復活[d]了,不在這裡。看,這就是他們安放他的地方。 你們去,告訴他的門徒們和彼得:『他要在你們之前到加利利去。在那裡,你們將見到他,正如他告訴過你們的。』」

她們渾身顫抖、驚慌失措,[e]從墓穴出來就逃跑了。她們因為感到懼怕,什麼也沒有對任何人說。

復活的主顯現

在一週頭一天[f]的清晨,耶穌復活以後,首先向茉大拉瑪麗亞顯現。耶穌曾經從她身上趕出了七個鬼魔。 10 她去告訴那些向來與耶穌在一起的人,他們正在悲傷、哀哭。 11 他們聽見耶穌活了,又被瑪麗亞看到了,卻是不相信。 12 這些事以後,門徒中有兩個人往鄉下去。在路上,耶穌以另一種形像向他們顯現。 13 他們去告訴其他的門徒,那些門徒也不相信他們。

大使命

14 後來那十一個使徒吃飯的時候,耶穌向他們顯現,並斥責他們的不信和心裡剛硬,因為他們不相信那些在他復活後看到他的人。 15 耶穌對他們說:「你們要到全世界去,向萬人[g]傳福音。 16 信而受洗[h]的人,將會得救;不信的人,將被定罪。 17 這些神蹟將伴隨著信的人:他們將奉我的名驅趕鬼魔;說各種新的語言[i] 18 [j]對付[k]蛇類;即使喝了致命的東西也絕不受害;按手在病人身上,病人就將痊癒。」

升天

19 這樣,主耶穌[l]對他們說完話以後,就被接到天上,坐在神的右邊。 20 門徒們就出去,到處傳道。主與他們一同工作,並且藉著伴隨的神蹟證實這話語。[m][n]

耶稣从死里复活的消息

16 安息日一过,马利亚抹大拉,雅各的母亲马利亚和撒罗米买好了香料,要去给耶稣涂油。 星期日一大早,太阳刚刚升起,她们就到耶稣的坟上去了。 她们彼此说道∶“谁来替我们把墓穴口的大石头滚开呢?”

她们抬头看时,发现那块巨石已经被人滚开了。 她们走进墓穴,只见一个穿白袍的青年男子坐在墓穴的右边,这情形把她们吓了一跳。

那人对她们说∶“不要怕。你们是来找那个被钉死在十字架上的拿撒勒人耶稣的吧。他不在这里了,他已经复活了。你们看看安放过他的地方。 现在你们回去吧,告诉他的门徒们,一定要告诉彼得,对他们说∶‘耶稣将在你们之前赶到加利利。你们会在那里见到他的,就像他过去告诉过你们的那样。’”

这几个女子实在是又惊又怕,赶紧从坟墓出来跑掉了。她们没有对任何人说起这件事,因为她们都很害怕。

(一些早期希腊本此书到此结束。)

一些门徒见到耶稣

耶稣在星期日清晨复活以后,首先出现在抹大拉的马利亚面前。耶稣曾经从她身上赶走了七个鬼。 10 马利亚看到耶稣后,便把这件事讲给了那些曾经和耶稣在一起的人听。那些人正在为耶稣的死感到万分的难过,痛哭失声。 11 当马利亚告诉他们耶稣还活着,而且还见到他了,门徒们都不相信。

12 此后,有两个门徒在乡下赶路的时候,耶稣出现了在他们面前。但看上去与被害之前不太一样。 13 他们回来把此事报告给了其他人,可是还是没有人相信他们的话。

耶稣对门徒们讲话

14 后来,在十一个门徒吃饭的时候,耶稣出现了。他责备他们既缺乏信仰,又固执,因为他们不相信在他复活后又看见过他的人。

15 耶稣对门徒们说∶“你们到全世界去,把福音传播给每一个人。 16 那些相信福音并接受洗礼的人必会得救;不相信的人必被定罪。 17 这些神迹将伴随着相信的人:他们将以我的名义驱鬼;他们将说新的语言; 18 他们将用手抓住蛇;他们喝了任何毒物都将安然无恙;当他们把手按在病人身上时,就能使病人痊愈。”

耶稣返回天堂

19 主耶稣说完这番话,就被接到天堂,坐在上帝的右边。 20 门徒们到世界各地去告诉人们福音,主和他们一同工作。主用伴随着道的神迹,以证实他们所传的道。

The Resurrection of Jesus

16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag′dalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salo′me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.[a] And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Mag′dalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went out and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

Jesus Commissions the Disciples

14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they sat at table; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The Ascension of Jesus

19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.[b][c]

Footnotes

  1. 16.1 There had been no time on the Friday to anoint him before the sabbath rest.
  2. Mark 16:20 Other ancient authorities omit verses 9–20. Some ancient authorities conclude Mark instead with the following: But they reported briefly to Peter and those with him all that they had been told. And after this, Jesus himself sent out by means of them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.
  3. 16.9-20 This passage is regarded as inspired and canonical scripture even if not written by Mark. As it is missing from some important manuscripts, it is possible that Mark did not write it. On the other hand, he would hardly have left his Gospel unfinished at verse 8. Many think that the original ending was lost at a very early date and that this ending was composed at the end of the apostolic period to take its place.

16 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.

Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him! But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”

They went out,[a] and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.[b]

[c]Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

12 After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country. 13 They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.

14 Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen. 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then the Lord,[d] after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

  1. 16:8 TR adds “quickly”
  2. 16:8 One isolated manuscript omits verses 9-20 but adds this “short ending of Mark” to the end of verse 8: They told all that had been commanded them briefly to those around Peter. After that, Jesus himself sent them out, from east to west, with the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.
  3. 16:9 NU includes the text of verses 9-20, but mentions in a footnote that a few manuscripts omitted it. The translators of the World English Bible regard Mark 16:9-20 as reliable based on an overwhelming majority of textual evidence, including not only the authoritative Greek Majority Text New Testament, but also the TR and many of the manuscripts cited in the NU text.
  4. 16:19 NU adds “Jesus”
