马可福音 11-16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
骑驴进耶路撒冷
11 耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷,快到橄榄山附近的伯法其和伯大尼两个村庄时,祂派了两个门徒, 2 对他们说:“你们去前面的村庄,一进村就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的驴驹拴在那里,你们把它解开牵来。 3 若有人问你们为什么这样做,就说,‘主要用它,很快会把它送回来。’” 4 他们进了村子,果然看见有一头驴驹拴在街道旁一户人家的门外,就上前解开它。 5 旁边站着的几个人就问他们:“你们为什么要解开这头驴驹?”
6 门徒依照耶稣的吩咐回答,那些人就让他们牵走了。 7 他们把驴驹牵到耶稣面前,将自己的外衣搭在驴背上,耶稣就骑了上去。 8 很多人把衣服铺在路上,有人将田间的树枝砍下来铺在路上。 9 大家前呼后拥,高声欢呼:
“和散那[a]!
奉主名来的当受称颂!
10 那将要来临的我祖大卫的国度当受称颂!
和散那归于至高之处的上帝!”
11 耶稣进了耶路撒冷,来到圣殿,巡视各处。那时天色已晚,耶稣便和十二门徒出城前往伯大尼。
咒诅无花果树
12 第二天,他们离开伯大尼后,耶稣饿了。 13 祂远远看见有一棵枝叶茂盛的无花果树,就走过去找果子吃。到了树下,却什么也找不到,只有满树的叶子,因为当时不是收无花果的季节。 14 祂对那棵树说:“愿无人再吃你的果子!”祂的门徒都听见了这句话。
洁净圣殿
15 他们来到耶路撒冷后,耶稣进入圣殿,赶走了里面做买卖的人,推翻了兑换钱币之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子, 16 不准人抬着货物穿过圣殿。 17 祂教导他们说:“圣经上不是记载‘我的殿必称为万民祷告的殿’吗?你们竟把它变成了贼窝。”
18 祭司长和律法教师听到这番话后,就策划如何杀害耶稣,只是有些怕祂,因为百姓都对祂的教导感到惊奇。 19 到了傍晚,耶稣和门徒去了城外。
无花果树的教训
20 早上,他们又经过那棵无花果树,看见它连根都枯了。 21 彼得想起昨天发生的事,就对耶稣说:“老师,你看!昨天你咒诅的无花果树已经枯了。”
22 耶稣说:“要对上帝有信心。 23 我实在告诉你们,不论何人,只要有信心,毫不疑惑,就是对这座山说,‘从这里挪开,投进大海里!’也必定为他成就。 24 所以我告诉你们,你们祷告时无论求什么,只要相信已经得到了,就必得到。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪了你们,就要饶恕他。这样,你们天上的父也会饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们如果不饶恕别人,你们天上的父也不会饶恕你们的过犯。[b]”
质问耶稣的权柄
27 他们再次回到耶路撒冷。耶稣在圣殿里行走的时候,祭司长、律法教师和长老上前质问祂: 28 “你凭什么权柄做这些事?谁授权给你了?”
29 耶稣说:“我也要问你们一个问题,你们回答了,我就告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。 30 约翰的洗礼是从天上来的还是从人来的?请回答我!”
31 他们彼此议论说:“如果我们说‘是从天上来的’,祂一定会问,‘那你们为什么不信他?’ 32 如果我们说‘是从人来的’,又怕触怒百姓,因为他们都相信约翰真的是先知。” 33 于是,他们回答说:“我们不知道。”耶稣说:“我也不告诉你们我凭什么权柄做这些事。”
凶狠的佃户
12 耶稣用比喻对他们说:“有人开辟了一个葡萄园,在四周筑起篱笆,又在园中挖了一个榨酒池,建了一座瞭望台,然后把葡萄园租给佃户,就出远门了。
2 “到葡萄成熟时,园主派一个奴仆去收取他该得的一份。 3 那些佃户却捉住那个奴仆,打了他一顿,使他空手而归。
4 “园主又差另一个奴仆去。这一次,佃户不但侮辱他,还把他打得头破血流。 5 园主再派一个奴仆前往,他们却把他杀掉了。园主后来派去的人不是挨打,就是被杀。 6 最后只剩下园主的爱子,园主就派他去,以为那些佃户会尊重他的儿子。 7 这班佃户却彼此商量说,‘这个就是园主的继承人。来吧!我们杀掉他,产业就归我们了。’
8 “于是他们抓住他,杀了他,把他抛到葡萄园外。 9 那么,园主会采取什么行动呢?他必定会来杀掉这些佃户,把葡萄园转给别人。 10 圣经上说,
“‘工匠丢弃的石头已成了房角石。
11 这是主的作为,
在我们看来奇妙莫测。’
你们没有读过这经文吗?”
12 他们听出这比喻是针对他们说的,就想逮捕耶稣,但又害怕百姓,只好先离开了。
纳税给凯撒的问题
13 后来,他们派了几个法利赛人和希律党人到耶稣那里,企图利用祂所说的话设计陷害祂。
14 他们上前对耶稣说:“老师,我们知道你诚实无伪,不看人的情面,因为你不以貌取人,而是按真理传上帝的道。那么,向凯撒纳税对不对呢? 15 我们该不该纳呢?”耶稣看破他们的阴谋,就说:“你们为什么试探我呢?拿一个银币来给我看。”
16 他们就拿来一个银币,耶稣问他们:“上面刻的是谁的像和名号?”
他们说:“凯撒的。”
17 耶稣说:“属于凯撒的东西应该给凯撒,属于上帝的东西应该给上帝。”
他们听了这话,都很惊奇。
论复活
18 撒都该人向来不相信有复活的事,他们来问耶稣: 19 “老师,摩西为我们写下律例,如果一个人死了,遗下妻子,又没有儿女,他的兄弟就当娶嫂嫂,替哥哥传宗接代。 20 有弟兄七人,老大结了婚,没有孩子就死了。 21 二弟把大嫂娶过来,也没有生孩子就死了,三弟也是一样, 22 七个人都没有留下孩子。最后,那女人也死了。 23 那么,到复活的时候,她将是谁的妻子呢?因为七个人都娶过她。”
24 耶稣说:“你们弄错了,因为你们不明白圣经,也不知道上帝的能力。 25 死人复活之后,将不娶也不嫁,就像天上的天使一样。 26 关于死人复活的事,你们没有读过摩西书有关火中荆棘的记载吗?上帝对摩西说,‘我是亚伯拉罕的上帝,以撒的上帝,雅各的上帝。’ 27 上帝不是死人的上帝,而是活人的上帝。你们大错了!”
最大的诫命
28 有一位律法教师听到他们的辩论,觉得耶稣的回答很精彩,就走过去问道:“诫命中哪一条最重要呢?”
29 耶稣回答道:“最重要的诫命是,‘听啊,以色列!主——我们的上帝是独一的主。 30 你要全心、全情、全意、全力爱主——你的上帝’; 31 其次就是‘要爱邻如己’。再也没有任何诫命比这两条更重要了。”
32 那位律法教师说:“老师,你说的对,上帝只有一位,除祂以外,别无他神。 33 我们要全心、全意、全力爱祂,又要爱邻如己。这样做比献什么祭都好。”
34 耶稣见他答得很有智慧,就告诉他:“你离上帝的国不远了。”此后,没人再敢问耶稣问题了。
基督的身份
35 耶稣在圣殿里教导的时候,问道:“律法教师为什么说基督是大卫的后裔呢? 36 大卫自己曾经受圣灵的感动,说,
“‘主对我主说,
你坐在我的右边,
等我使你的仇敌伏在你脚下。’
37 既然大卫自己称基督为主,基督又怎能是大卫的后裔呢?”百姓听得津津有味。 38 耶稣又教导他们,说:“你们要提防律法教师,他们爱穿着长袍招摇过市,喜欢人们在大街上问候他们, 39 又喜欢会堂里的上座和宴席中的首位。 40 他们侵吞寡妇的财产,还假意做冗长的祷告。这种人必受到更严厉的惩罚。”
穷寡妇的奉献
41 然后,耶稣走到圣殿的奉献箱对面坐下,看大家怎样奉献。很多财主奉献了大量的钱。 42 后来一个穷寡妇来了,投进了相当于一文钱的两个小铜钱。 43 耶稣叫门徒来,说:“我实在告诉你们,这位穷寡妇比其他人奉献的都多, 44 因为他们不过奉献了自己剩余的,但这穷寡妇却奉献了她赖以为生的。”
预言圣殿被毁
13 耶稣走出圣殿的时候,有一个门徒对祂说:“老师,你看!这是多么大的石头,多么宏伟的建筑啊!”
2 耶稣说:“你看见这宏伟的建筑了吗?将来它要被完全拆毁,找不到两块叠在一起的石头。”
3 耶稣面向圣殿坐在橄榄山上,彼得、雅各、约翰和安得烈私下来问祂: 4 “请告诉我们,这些事什么时候会发生?有什么预兆?”
5 耶稣对他们说:“你们要小心,免得被人迷惑。 6 将有很多人冒我的名来,说,‘我是基督’,欺骗许多人。
7 “你们听见战争爆发、战讯频传时,不要惊慌,因为这些事必然发生,只是末日还没有到。
8 “民族将与民族互斗,国家将与国家相争,各处将有地震和饥荒。这些只是灾难[c]的开始。
9 “你们要小心,因为你们将被送上法庭,将在会堂里受鞭打,又将为了我的缘故在官长和君王面前做见证。 10 不过,福音一定要先传遍天下。 11 你们被拘捕,受审讯的时候,不用预先考虑怎样辩解,到时候赐给你们什么话,你们就说什么话,因为那时候说话的不是你们自己,而是圣灵。
12 “那时,人必把自己的弟兄置于死地,父亲必把儿子置于死地,儿女必反叛父母,置他们于死地。 13 你们将为我的名而被众人憎恨,但坚忍到底的必定得救。
大灾难
14 “当你们看见‘那带来毁灭的可憎之物’站在不当站的地方时(读者须会意),住在犹太地区的人要逃到山上去; 15 在屋顶上的人不要下来,不要进房屋收拾行李; 16 在田间的人不要回家取外衣。 17 那时,孕妇和哺育婴儿的母亲们可就遭殃了! 18 你们要祈求上帝使这些事不要在冬天发生, 19 因为那是上帝创造天地以来空前绝后的大灾难。 20 如果主不缩短灾期,恐怕没有人能活命,但为了祂所拣选的子民,祂已经缩短灾期。 21 那时,如果有人对你们说,‘看啊!基督在这里’,或说,‘基督在那里’,你们不要相信。 22 因为假基督和假先知将出现,行各种神迹奇事,如果可能,甚至会迷惑上帝拣选的子民。 23 你们要小心,我已经把一切预先告诉你们了。
人子降临
24 “大灾难过后,
太阳昏暗,
月亮无光,
25 星宿陨落,
天体震动。
26 那时,世人必看到人子驾着云、带着极大的能力和荣耀降临。 27 祂必差遣天使从四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂拣选的人。
28 “你们可以从无花果树学个道理。当无花果树发芽长叶的时候,你们就知道夏天快来了。 29 同样,当你们看见这些事情发生时,就知道人子快来了,就在门口。 30 我实在告诉你们,这个世代还没有过去,这一切都要发生。 31 天地都要过去,我的话却永远长存。
32 “但没有人知道那日子和时辰何时来到,连天上的天使和人子都不知道,只有天父知道。 33 你们要小心,警醒祷告,因为你们不知道那日子何时来到。
34 “这就好像一个人在出远门之前,把家中的事交给仆人,让他们各做各的工作,又吩咐守门的人要警醒。 35 所以你们要警醒,因为你们不知道主人什么时候回来,可能是黄昏,可能是夜半,也可能是黎明或早上。 36 别让他突然回来时看到你们在睡觉。 37 我劝你们也劝所有的人,要警醒!”
谋害耶稣
14 再过两天就是逾越节和除酵节,祭司长和律法教师正暗暗地找机会拘捕、杀害耶稣。
2 他们说:“我们不能在节期那天下手,以免在百姓中引起骚乱。”
耶稣受膏
3 耶稣在伯大尼村患过麻风病的西门家里吃饭,有个女人带了一瓶极贵重的纯哪哒香膏进来,把玉瓶打破,将香膏倒在耶稣头上。 4 有些人生气地彼此议论说:“为什么这样浪费? 5 这瓶香膏可以卖三百多个银币[d]来周济穷人。”他们就责备那女人。
6 耶稣说:“随她吧!何必为难她呢?她在我身上做的是一件美事。 7 因为你们身边总会有穷人,你们随时都可以帮助他们,可是你们身边不会总有我。 8 她做了自己能做的。她是为我的安葬做准备,提前用香膏抹了我的身体。 9 我实在告诉你们,无论福音传到世界哪个角落,人们都会传扬这女人的事迹,纪念她。”
犹大出卖耶稣
10 十二门徒当中的加略人犹大去见祭司长,要把耶稣出卖给他们。 11 他们听了喜出望外,答应给他酬金。于是犹大伺机出卖耶稣。
最后的晚餐
12 除酵节的第一天,就是宰杀逾越节羔羊的那天,门徒问耶稣:“我们该到什么地方为你准备逾越节的晚餐呢?”
13 耶稣就派了两个门徒,并嘱咐他们:“你们进城会看到一个人带着一瓶水迎面而来,你们就跟着他。 14 他进哪一家,你们也跟着进去,对那家的主人说,‘我们的老师问你,祂的客房在哪里,祂要和门徒在里面吃逾越节的晚餐。’ 15 主人会带你们到楼上一间布置整齐的大房间,你们就在那里准备吧。”
16 两个门徒出去,进了城,所遇见的果然和耶稣所说的一样。他们预备了逾越节的晚餐。
17 傍晚时分,耶稣带着十二门徒来了。 18 用餐的时候,耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,你们中间有一个人要出卖我,他现在正和我同桌吃饭。”
19 他们听了都感到不安,一个一个地问耶稣:“不是我吧?” 20 耶稣说:“是你们十二个人中的一个,他现在正和我一起在盘子里蘸饼吃。 21 人子一定会受害,正如圣经的记载,但出卖人子的人有祸了,他还不如不生在这世上!”
22 他们吃的时候,耶稣拿起饼来,祝谢后,便掰开,分给门徒,说:“拿去吃吧!这是我的身体。” 23 接着又拿起杯来,祝谢后,递给他们,他们都喝了。 24 耶稣说:“这是我为万人所流的立约之血。 25 我实在告诉你们,从今天起,一直到我在上帝的国喝新酒的那天之前,我不会再喝这葡萄酒。”
26 他们唱完诗歌,就出门去了橄榄山。
预言彼得不认主
27 耶稣对他们说:“你们都要背弃我,因为圣经上说,
“‘我要击打牧人,
羊群将四散。’
28 但我复活后,要先你们一步去加利利。”
29 彼得说:“即使所有人都背弃你,我也决不会背弃你!”
30 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你,就在今天晚上鸡叫两次以前,你会三次不认我。”
31 彼得郑重地说:“就算要我跟你一起死,我也不会不认你。”其他门徒也都这样说。
客西马尼园的祷告
32 他们到了客西马尼园,耶稣对门徒说:“你们坐在这里,我要去祷告。”
33 于是耶稣带着彼得、雅各和约翰向前走。祂觉得极其难过,非常伤痛, 34 说:“我心里非常忧伤,几乎要死,你们留在这里警醒。” 35 耶稣往前走了不远,俯伏在地祷告,如果可以,不要让那时刻临到祂。
36 祂说:“阿爸,父啊,你无所不能,求你撤去此杯。然而,愿你的旨意成就,而非我的意愿。”
37 祂回来,见他们都睡着了,就对彼得说:“西门,你在睡觉吗?你不能警醒一时吗? 38 你们要警醒祷告,免得陷入诱惑。你们的心灵虽然愿意,肉体却很软弱。”
39 耶稣又去祷告,所祈求的跟上次一样。 40 祂回来时见他们又睡着了,因为他们困得眼皮发沉,也不知道对祂说什么。 41 祂第三次祷告回来后,对他们说:“你们还在睡觉休息吗?够了,时候到了,看啊,人子要被出卖、交在罪人的手里了。 42 起来,我们走吧。看啊,出卖我的人已经来了!”
耶稣被捕
43 耶稣还在说话的时候,十二门徒之一的犹大已带了一群人拿着刀棍迎面而来。他们奉了祭司长、律法教师和长老之命来捉拿耶稣。 44 出卖耶稣的犹大预先和他们定了暗号,说:“我亲吻谁,谁就是耶稣,你们把祂抓起来,小心押走。”
45 犹大随即走到耶稣跟前说:“老师。”然后就亲吻耶稣。 46 其他人就下手捉拿耶稣。 47 站在旁边的一个门徒拔出刀朝大祭司的奴仆砍去,削掉了他一只耳朵。
48 耶稣问那群人:“你们像对付强盗一样拿着刀棍来抓我吗? 49 我天天和你们在一起,在圣殿里教导人,你们没有来抓我。你们现在这样做是要应验圣经的话。”
50 那时,门徒都撇下耶稣,各自逃命去了。 51 只有一个身上披着一块麻布的青年跟着耶稣。他们上去捉他, 52 他丢了那块麻布,赤身逃走了。
大祭司审问耶稣
53 他们把耶稣押到大祭司那里,众祭司长、长老和律法教师都来了。 54 那时彼得远远地跟着耶稣,一直来到大祭司的院子,与卫兵们坐在一起烤火。 55 祭司长和全公会的人正在寻找证据控告耶稣,要定祂死罪,只是找不到。 56 不少人作伪证控告祂,他们的证词却不一致。 57 后来,有几个人站起来作伪证说: 58 “我们听见祂说,‘我要拆毁这座人手建造的圣殿,三天内不靠人力另造一座。’” 59 即使这样,他们的证词也不一致。
60 最后,大祭司在众人面前站起来质问耶稣:“你不回答吗?这些人作证控告你的是什么呢?”
61 耶稣还是沉默不语,什么也不答。大祭司又问祂:“你是那当受称颂者的儿子基督吗?” 62 耶稣说:“我是!将来你们要看见人子坐在全能上帝的右边,驾着天上的云降临。”
63 大祭司便撕裂衣服,说:“我们还需要什么证人呢? 64 你们听见祂说亵渎的话了,你们看怎么办?”他们都判祂死罪。
65 有几个人向祂吐唾沫,蒙上祂的眼睛,挥拳打祂,嘲笑祂说:“你说预言吧!”卫兵押祂下去时,也打祂。
彼得三次不认耶稣
66 那时,彼得仍在院子里,大祭司的一个婢女走过来, 67 见彼得在烤火,打量了他一番,说:“你也是那个拿撒勒人耶稣的同伙。”
68 “我不知道也不明白你在说什么!”彼得一边否认,一边躲到外院去。那时,鸡叫了。
69 一会儿,那婢女又看见彼得,就对旁边的人说:“他是跟他们一伙的!” 70 彼得又加以否认。
再过了一会儿,旁观的人也指着彼得说:“你一定是跟他们一伙的,因为你也是加利利人!”
71 彼得又赌咒又发誓,说:“我根本不认识你们说的这个人。” 72 就在这时候,鸡又叫了。彼得突然想起耶稣曾对他说:“在鸡叫两次以前,你会三次不认我”,忍不住痛哭起来。
耶稣在彼拉多面前受审
15 清早,祭司长、长老、律法教师和全公会的人商定后,便把耶稣绑起来押送到彼拉多那里。
2 彼拉多问耶稣:“你是犹太人的王吗?”
耶稣回答说:“如你所言。”
3 祭司长控告耶稣许多罪。
4 彼拉多又问道:“你看,他们控告你这么多,你都不回答吗?”
5 耶稣仍旧一言不发,彼拉多感到惊奇。
6 每年逾越节的时候,彼拉多都会照惯例按犹太人的要求释放一个囚犯。 7 那时,有一个囚犯名叫巴拉巴,与其他作乱时杀过人的囚犯关在一起。 8 百姓聚来,要求彼拉多照惯例释放囚犯。
9 彼拉多问:“你们要我为你们释放犹太人的王吗?” 10 因为他知道祭司长把耶稣押来是出于妒忌。 11 但祭司长却煽动百姓,叫他们要求彼拉多释放巴拉巴。
12 彼拉多只好问:“那么,这位你们称之为犹太人之王的,我如何处置呢?”
13 他们喊着说:“把祂钉在十字架上!”
14 彼拉多问:“为什么?祂犯了什么罪?”
他们却更大声地喊:“把祂钉在十字架上!”
15 为了取悦众人,彼拉多释放了巴拉巴,命人将耶稣鞭打后带出去钉十字架。
耶稣受辱
16 于是,卫兵把耶稣带进总督府的院子,集合了全营的兵。 17 他们给祂穿上紫袍,用荆棘编成王冠戴在祂头上, 18 向祂行礼,并喊着说:“犹太人的王万岁!” 19 他们用苇秆打祂的头,向祂吐唾沫,跪拜祂。 20 戏弄完了,就脱去祂的紫袍,给祂穿上原来的衣服,押祂出去钉十字架。
钉十字架
21 亚历山大和鲁孚的父亲古利奈人西门从乡下来,途经那地方,卫兵就强迫他背耶稣的十字架。 22 他们把耶稣带到各各他——意思是“髑髅地”, 23 拿没药调和的酒给祂喝,但祂不肯喝。 24 他们把耶稣钉在十字架上,还抽签分祂的衣服。 25 他们钉祂十字架的时间是在上午九点钟。 26 祂的罪状牌上写着“犹太人的王”。
27 他们还把两个强盗钉在十字架上,一个在祂右边,一个在祂左边, 28 这应验了圣经的话:“祂被列在罪犯中。” 29 过路的人都嘲笑祂,摇着头说:“哈,你这要把圣殿拆毁又在三天内重建的人啊, 30 救救你自己,从十字架上下来吧!”
31 祭司长和律法教师也嘲讽说:“祂救了别人,却救不了自己! 32 以色列的王基督,现在从十字架上下来吧!让我们看看,我们就信了!”与祂同钉十字架的强盗也对祂出言不逊。
耶稣之死
33 正午时分,黑暗笼罩着整个大地,一直到下午三点。 34 大约在三点,耶稣大声呼喊:“以罗伊,以罗伊,拉马撒巴各大尼?”意思是:“我的上帝,我的上帝,你为什么离弃我?”
35 有些站在旁边的人听见了,就说:“听,祂在呼叫以利亚。”
36 有人跑去把一块海绵蘸满酸酒,绑在苇秆上送给祂喝,说:“等等,让我们看看以利亚会不会救祂下来。”
37 耶稣大叫一声,就断了气。 38 圣殿的幔子从上到下裂成两半。 39 站在对面的百夫长看见耶稣喊叫[e]断气的情形,便说:“这人真是上帝的儿子!”
40 有些妇女在远处观看,其中有抹大拉的玛丽亚、小雅各和约西的母亲玛丽亚并撒罗米。 41 耶稣在加利利时,她们已经跟随祂、服侍祂了。此外还有好些跟着祂上耶路撒冷的妇女。
安葬耶稣
42 那天是犹太人的预备日,也就是安息日的前一天。傍晚, 43 亚利马太人约瑟鼓起勇气去见彼拉多,要求领取耶稣的遗体。他是一位德高望重的公会议员,一位等候上帝国降临的人。 44 彼拉多听见耶稣已经死了,十分惊讶,便把百夫长召来问个明白, 45 得知耶稣确实已死,便将耶稣的遗体交给约瑟。
46 约瑟把耶稣的遗体取下来,用买来的细麻布裹好,安放在一个在岩壁上凿出的墓穴里,又滚来一块大石头堵住洞口。 47 抹大拉的玛丽亚和约西的母亲玛丽亚都亲眼看到了安葬耶稣的地方。
耶稣复活
16 过了安息日,抹大拉的玛丽亚、雅各的母亲玛丽亚和撒罗米买了香料,要去抹耶稣的遗体。 2 周日清早,太阳刚刚升起,她们就去坟墓那里。 3 途中她们彼此议论说:“谁能替我们滚开墓口那块大石头呢?” 4 她们抬头一看,那块大石头已经滚到一旁。 5 她们进了坟墓,看见一位身穿洁白长袍的青年坐在右边,吓了一跳。 6 那青年对她们说:“不要害怕,你们要找那位被钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣吗?祂已经复活了,不在这里。你们看!这是安放祂的地方。 7 你们快回去,告诉祂的门徒,特别是彼得,‘祂先你们一步去了加利利,你们将在那里见到祂,正如祂以前所说的一样。’”
8 她们从坟墓出来,跑走了,战战兢兢,疑惑不已,什么也没有告诉他人,因为她们很害怕。
耶稣显现
9 耶稣在周日清晨复活后,首先向抹大拉的玛丽亚显现,耶稣曾在她身上赶出七个鬼。 10 玛丽亚赶到门徒那里,看见他们仍然在哭泣哀悼, 11 就告诉他们耶稣已经复活了,还向她显现过,但他们不相信。
12 此后,有两个门徒在去乡下的路上,看到耶稣以另一种形象向他们显现。 13 他们回去告诉其他的门徒,但门徒还是不相信。
最后的使命
14 后来,当十一位门徒在一起吃饭的时候,耶稣向他们显现,责备他们又不信又固执,因为他们不肯相信那些人在祂复活后见过祂。 15 耶稣又对他们说:“你们要到世界各地去,向全人类传扬福音。 16 相信并接受洗礼的人必定得救,不肯相信的人必被定罪。 17 必有神迹随着信我的人,他们能奉我的名赶鬼,说新的方言,
Mark 11-16
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(O)
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)
19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[e] went out of the city.(R)
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(S) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(T) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(U) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(V) [26] [g]
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(W)
27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28 “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29 Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)(X)
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
The Parable of the Tenants(Y)
12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard.(Z) He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all,(AA) saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 “What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;(AB)
11 the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[h]?”(AC)
12 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd;(AD) so they left him and went away.(AE)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(AF)
13 Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians(AG) to Jesus to catch him(AH) in his words. 14 They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax[i] to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”(AI)
And they were amazed at him.
Marriage at the Resurrection(AJ)
18 Then the Sadducees,(AK) who say there is no resurrection,(AL) came to him with a question. 19 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.(AM) 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection[j] whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”
24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures(AN) or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.(AO) 26 Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, how God said to him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[k]?(AP) 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
The Greatest Commandment(AQ)
28 One of the teachers of the law(AR) came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[l] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[m](AS) 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[n](AT) There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.(AU) 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”(AV)
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”(AW) And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.(AX)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(AY)(AZ)
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,(BA) he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?(BB) 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit,(BC) declared:
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
The large crowd(BE) listened to him with delight.
Warning Against the Teachers of the Law
38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.(BF) 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
The Widow’s Offering(BG)
41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put(BH) and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”(BI)
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(BJ)
13 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”
2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”(BK)
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(BL) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(BM) and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”
5 Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(BN) 6 Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. 7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.(BO) On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.(BP)
12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.(BQ) 13 Everyone will hate you because of me,(BR) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(BS)
14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[p](BT) standing where it[q] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(BU) 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world,(BV) until now—and never to be equaled again.(BW)
20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.(BX) 22 For false messiahs and false prophets(BY) will appear and perform signs and wonders(BZ) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 So be on your guard;(CA) I have told you everything ahead of time.
24 “But in those days, following that distress,
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[r](CB)
26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds(CC) with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.(CD)
28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it[s] is near, right at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation(CE) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(CF) 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(CG)
The Day and Hour Unknown
32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(CH) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[t]!(CI) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(CJ) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(CK)
Jesus Anointed at Bethany(CL)(CM)(CN)
14 Now the Passover(CO) and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.(CP) 2 “But not during the festival,” they said, “or the people may riot.”
3 While he was in Bethany,(CQ) reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.(CR)
4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages[u] and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will always have with you,[v] and you can help them any time you want.(CS) But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.(CT) 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world,(CU) what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve,(CV) went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.(CW) 11 They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money. So he watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
The Last Supper(CX)(CY)
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb,(CZ) Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs,(DA) furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”
20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me.(DB) 21 The Son of Man(DC) will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it(DD) and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.(DE)
24 “This is my blood of the[w] covenant,(DF) which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”(DG)
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(DH)
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial(DI)
27 “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written:
28 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(DK)
29 Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I will not.”
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice[y] you yourself will disown me three times.”(DL)
31 But Peter insisted emphatically, “Even if I have to die with you,(DM) I will never disown you.” And all the others said the same.
Gethsemane(DN)
32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John(DO) along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,”(DP) he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour(DQ) might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[z] Father,”(DR) he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup(DS) from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”(DT)
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(DU) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(DV)
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour(DW) has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
Jesus Arrested(DX)
43 Just as he was speaking, Judas,(DY) one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Rabbi!”(DZ) and kissed him. 46 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 47 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48 “Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts,(EA) and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”(EB) 50 Then everyone deserted him and fled.(EC)
51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Jesus Before the Sanhedrin(ED)(EE)
53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest.(EF) There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.(EG)
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin(EH) were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another,(EI) not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.(EJ)
Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”(EK)
62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”(EL)
63 The high priest tore his clothes.(EM) “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”
They all condemned him as worthy of death.(EN) 65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.(EO)
Peter Disowns Jesus(EP)
66 While Peter was below in the courtyard,(EQ) one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. 67 When she saw Peter warming himself,(ER) she looked closely at him.
“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,”(ES) she said.
68 But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,”(ET) he said, and went out into the entryway.[aa]
69 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” 70 Again he denied it.(EU)
After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”(EV)
71 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t know this man you’re talking about.”(EW)
72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.[ab] Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice[ac] you will disown me three times.”(EX) And he broke down and wept.
Jesus Before Pilate(EY)
15 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law(EZ) and the whole Sanhedrin,(FA) made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.(FB)
2 “Are you the king of the Jews?”(FC) asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
3 The chief priests accused him of many things. 4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”
5 But Jesus still made no reply,(FD) and Pilate was amazed.
6 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested. 7 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. 8 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
9 “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?”(FE) asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas(FF) instead.
12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.
13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged,(FG) and handed him over to be crucified.
The Soldiers Mock Jesus(FH)
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace(FI) (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(FJ) 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out(FK) to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus(FL)
21 A certain man from Cyrene,(FM) Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,(FN) was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.(FO) 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh,(FP) but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots(FQ) to see what each would get.
25 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 26 The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the jews.(FR)
27 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. [28] [ad] 29 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads(FS) and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,(FT) 30 come down from the cross and save yourself!” 31 In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him(FU) among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! 32 Let this Messiah,(FV) this king of Israel,(FW) come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.
The Death of Jesus(FX)
33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.(FY) 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[ae](FZ)
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar,(GA) put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.(GB)
38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.(GC) 39 And when the centurion,(GD) who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[af] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(GE)
40 Some women were watching from a distance.(GF) Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[ag] and Salome.(GG) 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.(GH)
The Burial of Jesus(GI)
42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).(GJ) So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council,(GK) who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God,(GL) went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion(GM) that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.(GN) 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph(GO) saw where he was laid.
Jesus Has Risen(GP)
16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices(GQ) so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”(GR)
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe(GS) sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,(GT) who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him,(GU) just as he told you.’”(GV)
8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.[ah]
[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]
9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,(GW) out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.(GX)
12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.(GY) 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.(GZ)
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.(HA) 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(HB) 17 And these signs(HC) will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;(HD) they will speak in new tongues;(HE)
