马可福音 16
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
复活的清晨
16 安息日一过，茉大拉的玛丽亚、雅各的母亲[a]玛丽亚和莎罗美就买了香料，要去膏抹耶稣。 2 在一周的头一天[b]，一大清早，太阳刚出来，她们就来到墓穴那里。 3 她们互相说：“谁能替我们滚开墓穴口的石头呢？” 4 原来那块石头非常大。可是她们抬头一看，见石头已经被滚开了。 5 她们进了墓穴，看见一个年轻人[c]身穿白袍坐在右边，就大吃一惊。
6 那年轻人对她们说：“不要惊慌！你们是在寻找被钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣，他已经复活[d]了，不在这里。看，这就是他们安放他的地方。 7 你们去，告诉他的门徒们和彼得：‘他要在你们之前到加利利去。在那里，你们将见到他，正如他告诉过你们的。’”
8 她们浑身颤抖、惊慌失措，[e]从墓穴出来就逃跑了。她们因为感到惧怕，什么也没有对任何人说。
复活的主显现
9 在一周头一天[f]的清晨，耶稣复活以后，首先向茉大拉的玛丽亚显现。耶稣曾经从她身上赶出了七个鬼魔。 10 她去告诉那些向来与耶稣在一起的人，他们正在悲伤、哀哭。 11 他们听见耶稣活了，又被玛丽亚看到了，却是不相信。 12 这些事以后，门徒中有两个人往乡下去。在路上，耶稣以另一种形像向他们显现。 13 他们去告诉其他的门徒，那些门徒也不相信他们。
大使命
14 后来那十一个使徒吃饭的时候，耶稣向他们显现，并斥责他们的不信和心里刚硬，因为他们不相信那些在他复活后看到他的人。 15 耶稣对他们说：“你们要到全世界去，向万人[g]传福音。 16 信而受洗[h]的人，将会得救；不信的人，将被定罪。 17 这些神迹将伴随着信的人：他们将奉我的名驱赶鬼魔；说各种新的语言[i]； 18 [j]对付[k]蛇类；即使喝了致命的东西也绝不受害；按手在病人身上，病人就将痊愈。”
升天
19 这样，主耶稣[l]对他们说完话以后，就被接到天上，坐在神的右边。 20 门徒们就出去，到处传道。主与他们一同工作，并且藉着伴随的神迹证实这话语。[m][n]

Mark 16
Common English Bible
Empty tomb
16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they could go and anoint Jesus’ dead body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb. 3 They were saying to each other, “Who’s going to roll the stone away from the entrance for us?” 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. (And it was a very large stone!) 5 Going into the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right side; and they were startled. 6 But he said to them, “Don’t be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.[a] He has been raised. He isn’t here. Look, here’s the place where they laid him. 7 Go, tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.” 8 Overcome with terror and dread, they fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.[b]
Endings Added Later
[9 They promptly reported all of the young man’s instructions to those who were with Peter. Afterward, through the work of his disciples, Jesus sent out, from the east to the west, the sacred and undying message of eternal salvation. Amen. ]
[[9 After Jesus rose up 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 reported to the ones who had been with him, who were mourning and weeping. 11 But even after they heard the news, they didn’t believe that Jesus was alive and that Mary had seen him.
12 After that he appeared in a different form to two of them who were walking along in the countryside. 13 When they returned, they reported it to the others, but they didn’t believe them. 14 Finally he appeared to the eleven while they were eating. Jesus criticized their unbelief and stubbornness because they didn’t believe those who saw him after he was raised up. 15 He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn’t believe will be condemned. 17 These signs will be associated with those who believe: they will throw out demons in my name. They will speak in new languages. 18 They will pick up snakes with their hands. If they drink anything poisonous, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus spoke to them, he was lifted up into heaven and sat down on the right side of God. 20 But they went out and proclaimed the message everywhere. The Lord worked with them, confirming the word by the signs associated with them.]]
Mark 16
The Voice
16 1-2 At the rising of the sun, after the Sabbath on the first day of the week, the two Marys and Salome brought sweet-smelling spices they had purchased to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus. 3 Along the way, they wondered to themselves how they would roll the heavy stone away from the opening. 4 But when they arrived, the stone was already rolled away in spite of its weight and size.
5 Stepping through the opening, they were startled to see a young man in a white robe seated inside and to the right.
Man in White: 6 Don’t be afraid. You came seeking Jesus of Nazareth, the One who was crucified. He is gone. He has risen. See the place where His body was laid. 7 Go back, and tell Peter and His disciples that He goes before you into Galilee, just as He said. You will see Him there when you arrive.
8 The women went out quickly; and when they were outside the tomb, they ran away trembling and astonished. Along their way, they didn’t stop to say anything to anyone because they were too afraid.
Mark finishes his Gospel in the same way he begins it—quickly, without commentary or explanation. He also finishes it in a humble way: it is the lowly women who take center stage in this greatest miracle of Jesus. The heavenly messenger sends the women with a commission to tell the disciples what has happened, making them the first preachers of the resurrection.
[9 After He rose from the dead early on Sunday,[a] Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, a woman out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She brought this news back to all those who had followed Him and were still mourning and weeping, 11 but they refused to believe she had seen Jesus alive.
12 After that, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them as they walked through the countryside, 13 and again the others did not believe it.
14 The eleven did not believe until Jesus appeared to them all as they sat at dinner. He rebuked them for their hard hearts—for their lack of faith—because they had failed to believe those witnesses who had seen Him after He had risen.
Jesus: 15 Go out into the world and share the good news with all of creation. 16 Anyone who believes this good news and is ceremonially washed[b] will be rescued, but anyone who does not believe it will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: they will be able to cast out demons in My name, speak with new tongues, 18 take up serpents, drink poison without being harmed, and lay their hands on the sick to heal them.
19 After the Lord Jesus had charged the disciples in this way, He was taken up into heaven and seated at the right hand of God. 20 The disciples went out proclaiming the good news; and the risen Lord continued working through them, confirming every word they spoke with the signs He performed through them.][c]
[And the women did everything they had been told to do, speaking to Peter and the other disciples. Later Jesus Himself commissioned the disciples to take this sacred and eternal message of salvation far to the East and the West.][d]
The remaining eleven disciples take this command as their life’s mission. According to tradition, all but one of them (John) will be killed for their refusals to stop proclaiming the truth that Jesus is the Anointed One who has been crucified and who has arisen from the dead. They dedicate their lives—and their deaths—to the proclamation of this reality. If they are not absolutely certain of the truth of Jesus’ resurrection, then why dedicate their lives to announcing it to the world?
