Învierea lui Isus

16 După ce a trecut Sabatul, Maria Magdalena, Maria – mama lui Iacov – şi Salome au cumpărat miresme, ca să se ducă să-L ungă. Şi, în prima zi după Sabat, foarte de dimineaţă, în timp ce răsărea soarele, s-au dus la mormânt. Ele îşi ziceau una către alta: „Cine ne va rostogoli piatra de la intrarea mormântului?“

Însă când s-au uitat, au văzut că piatra, care era foarte mare, fusese rostogolită. Intrând în mormânt, au văzut un tânăr îmbrăcat într-o robă albă, şezând în partea dreaptă, şi s-au speriat.

Însă el le-a zis: „Nu vă speriaţi! Voi Îl căutaţi pe Isus din Nazaret, Cel Care a fost răstignit! A fost înviat; nu este aici! Iată locul unde-L puseseră! Dar duceţi-vă şi spuneţi-le ucenicilor Lui şi lui Petru că El merge înaintea voastră în Galileea! Acolo Îl veţi vedea, aşa cum v-a spus!“

Ele au ieşit afară şi au fugit de la mormânt, căci erau cuprinse de tremur şi de uimire. Şi n-au spus nimănui nimic, fiindcă se temeau.[a]

[b] (Când Isus a înviat, în dimineaţa primei zile de după Sabat, S-a arătat mai întâi Mariei Magdalena, din care scosese şapte demoni. 10 Ea s-a dus şi i-a anunţat pe cei ce fuseseră împreună cu El, care se tânguiau şi plângeau. 11 Dar când aceştia au auzit că trăieşte şi că fusese văzut de ea, n-au crezut.

12 După aceea, în timp ce doi dintre ei se duceau pe jos la câmp, li S-a arătat sub o altă înfăţişare. 13 Aceştia s-au dus şi i-au anunţat pe ceilalţi, dar nici pe ei nu i-au crezut.

14 Mai târziu, li S-a arătat celor unsprezece, în timp ce stăteau la masă. El i-a mustrat pentru necredinţa şi pentru inima lor împietrită, fiindcă nu i-au crezut pe cei care L-au văzut înviat.

15 Apoi le-a zis: „Duceţi-vă în toată lumea şi vestiţi Evanghelia la orice făptură! 16 Cel care va crede şi va fi botezat, va fi mântuit, dar cel care nu va crede, va fi condamnat. 17 Semnele care-i vor însoţi pe cei care cred sunt următoarele: în Numele Meu vor scoate demoni, vor vorbi în limbi noi, 18 vor lua în mâini şerpi, iar dacă vor bea ceva aducător de moarte nu-i va vătăma deloc. De asemenea, îşi vor pune mâinile peste cei bolnavi, iar aceştia se vor face bine.“

19 După ce le-a vorbit, Domnul Isus a fost luat în cer şi S-a aşezat la dreapta lui Dumnezeu. 20 Ei s-au dus şi au vestit pretutindeni, iar Domnul lucra împreună cu ei şi confirma Cuvântul prin semnele care-l însoţeau.)

  1. Marcu 16:8 Cele mai importante şi mai timpurii mss încheie Evanghelia cu v. 8; câteva mss greceşti, nu foarte importante (sec. VII-IX), conţin un epilog scurt al Evangheliei, înaintea celui lung (vs. 9-20): Ele le-au spus pe scurt celor din anturajul lui Petru tot ceea ce li se poruncise. După aceste lucruri, Isus Însuşi a trimis, prin ei, de la răsărit la apus, proclamarea sfântă şi nepieritoare a mântuirii veşnice. Amin; o versiune latină veche (sec. II) conţine numai acest epilog scurt
  2. Marcu 16:8 Cele mai multe mss conţin acest epilog lung, care nu apare însă în cele mai importante şi mai timpurii mss. Acest lucru, împreună cu faptul că vocabularul şi stilul acestuia sunt diferite de restul evangheliei, a dus la concluzia că materialul a fost compus în prima jumătate a sec. II (deoarece el este citat de Irineu şi Tatian, sec. II), probabil ca un rezumat al materialului referitor la apariţiile lui Isus după înviere, bazat în general pe Lc. 24 şi In. 20. Cel mai probabil, epilogul original al Evangheliei s-a pierdut

16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Jesus becomes alive again

16 After the day of rest had finished, the women bought some spices. They wanted to mix these with some oil to put on Jesus' body.[a] These women were Mary from Magdala, Salome, and Mary the mother of James. They went out at dawn on the first day of the week, Sunday. They went to the hole in the rock where Joseph had put Jesus' dead body.

The women asked each other, ‘Who will roll away the heavy stone for us? It closes the hole in the rock where they put Jesus' dead body.’

Then they looked and they saw the stone. It was a very big stone. But someone had already rolled it away from the hole. When the women went into the hole in the rock, they saw a young man there.[b] He was sitting in there on the right side and he wore bright white clothes. The women were very afraid.

The young man said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth. The soldiers killed him on a cross, but he has become alive again. He is not here. Look! You can see the place where the men put him. But now you must go to tell his disciples and Peter about this.[c] Tell them, “Jesus is going to Galilee and you must also go there. You will see him there, just as he told you it would happen.” ’

Then the women went out of the hole in the rock, and they ran away from that place. They were very upset and they had trouble in their minds. Because they were afraid, they did not say anything to anyone.

The end of Mark's book

[d] [Jesus became alive again early on the first day of the week. He appeared first to Mary from Magdala. Jesus had caused seven bad spirits to leave her. 10 She went to the people who had been with Jesus. They were all very sad and they were crying. Mary spoke to them. 11 She told them that Jesus was alive. And she told them that she had seen him. But they did not believe it.

12 After these things had happened, Jesus appeared to two other disciples. They were walking away from Jerusalem to their village. It seemed to them that Jesus was different. 13 Those two disciples went and told all the other disciples. But the other disciples did not believe them.

14 After that, Jesus appeared to the 11 apostles while they were eating. He told them that they were wrong not to believe. They should have been ready to believe. People had seen that he was now alive again. But the disciples had not believed them.

15 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Go to all people everywhere in the world. Tell God's good news to everyone. 16 If a person believes in me, then you should baptize that person. And God will save that person. But if a person does not believe, God will judge that person to be guilty. 17 These miracles will happen when people believe in me. On my behalf, they will send bad spirits out of people. They will speak new languages. 18 If they pick up a snake, it will not hurt them. If they drink poison, it will not hurt them. They will put their hands on ill people, and God will make those people well.’

Jesus goes up to heaven

19 So, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to the disciples, God took him up into heaven. There he sat down at the right side of God.

20 The disciples went out everywhere. They told people God's good news. The Lord worked with them. He did powerful things to show that the message which they spoke was true.]

  1. 16:1 The Jews rested on Saturdays until the sun went down. The women had bought the spices after that, during Saturday evening. The Jews always put these spices on a dead body when they buried it.
  2. 16:5 This young man was an angel.
  3. 16:7 Peter had said three times that he did not know Jesus. So maybe Peter thought that he was not still a disciple. But the angel's words included Peter. So Peter would know that Jesus still wanted him to be his disciple.

Jesus Has Risen(A)

16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices(B) so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”(C)

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe(D) sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,(E) who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him,(F) just as he told you.’”(G)

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.[a]


[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.]

When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,(H) 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.(I)

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country.(J) 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.(K)

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.(L) 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(M) 17 And these signs(N) will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons;(O) they will speak in new tongues;(P) 18 they will pick up snakes(Q) with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on(R) sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven(S) and he sat at the right hand of God.(T) 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs(U) that accompanied it.

After this, Jesus himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.
