16 1-2 The next evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene and Salome and Mary the mother of James went out and purchased embalming spices.

Early the following morning, just at sunrise, they carried them out to the tomb. On the way they were discussing how they could ever roll aside the huge stone from the entrance.

But when they arrived they looked up and saw that the stone—a very heavy one—was already moved away and the entrance was open! So they entered the tomb—and there on the right sat a young man clothed in white. The women were startled, but the angel said, “Don’t be so surprised. Aren’t you looking for Jesus, the Nazarene who was crucified? He isn’t here! He has come back to life! Look, that’s where his body was lying. Now go and give this message to his disciples including Peter:

“‘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, too frightened to talk.

[a] It was early on Sunday morning when Jesus came back to life, and the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene—the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10-11 She found the disciples wet-eyed with grief and exclaimed that she had seen Jesus, and he was alive! But they didn’t believe her!

12 Later that day[b] he appeared to two who were walking from Jerusalem into the country, but they didn’t recognize him at first because he had changed his appearance. 13 When they finally realized who he was, they rushed back to Jerusalem 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 unbelief—their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him alive from the dead.

15 And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. 16 Those who believe and are baptized will be saved. But those who refuse to believe will be condemned.

17 “And those who believe shall use my authority to cast out demons, and they shall speak new languages.[c] 18 They will be able even to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them; and they will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.”

19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at God’s right hand.

20 And the disciples went everywhere preaching, and the Lord was with them and confirmed what they said by the miracles that followed their messages.

The Resurrection

16 (A)(B)When the Sabbath was past, (C)Mary Magdalene, (D)Mary the mother of James, and (E)Salome (F)bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away (G)the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—(H)it was very large. And (I)entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, (J)dressed in (K)a white robe, and (L)they were alarmed. And he said to them, (M)“Do not be alarmed. 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 (N)he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, (O)just as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

[[Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, (P)he appeared first to (Q)Mary Magdalene, (R)from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 (S)She went and told those who had been with him, (T)as they (U)mourned and wept. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they (V)would not believe it.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

12 (W)After these things (X)he appeared in (Y)another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 (Z)And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

The Great Commission

14 Afterward (AA)he appeared (AB)to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their (AC)unbelief and (AD)hardness of heart, because (AE)they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, (AF)“Go into all the world and (AG)proclaim the gospel to (AH)the whole creation. 16 (AI)Whoever believes and is (AJ)baptized (AK)will be saved, but (AL)whoever (AM)does not believe will be condemned. 17 And (AN)these signs will accompany those who believe: (AO)in my name they will cast out demons; (AP)they will speak in new tongues; 18 (AQ)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; (AR)they will lay their hands (AS)on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then the Lord Jesus, (AT)after he had spoken to them, (AU)was taken up into heaven and (AV)sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while (AW)the Lord worked with them and confirmed (AX)the message (AY)by accompanying signs.]]

  1. Mark 16:9 Some manuscripts end the book with 16:8; others include verses 9–20 immediately after verse 8. At least one manuscript inserts additional material after verse 14; some manuscripts include after verse 8 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. These manuscripts then continue with verses 9–20

A ressurreição de Jesus

(Mt 28.1-8; Lc 24.1-12; Jo 20.1-10)

16 Depois que passou o sábado, Maria Madalena, Maria, mãe de Tiago, e Salomé compraram perfumes para derramar sobre o corpo de Jesus. Domingo bem cedo, antes mesmo do nascer do sol, elas foram até o túmulo e, enquanto caminhavam, diziam entre si:

—Quem vai rolar a pedra da entrada do túmulo para nós?

(Elas estavam dizendo isso porque a pedra era muito grande.) Ao olharem adiante, porém, viram que a pedra já tinha sido tirada.

Quando elas entraram no túmulo, ficaram muito assustadas, pois viram um rapaz vestido de roupas brancas, sentado ao lado direito. Ele lhes disse:

—Não se assustem. Vocês estão procurando a Jesus, o Nazareno, que foi crucificado, não é verdade? Mas ele não está mais aqui; ele ressuscitou. Vejam o lugar onde ele tinha sido colocado. Agora vão e deem este recado aos discípulos e a Pedro: “Ele irá para a Galileia antes de vocês. Vocês o encontrarão lá, exatamente como ele mesmo lhes disse”.

Elas saíram do túmulo correndo, pois estavam apavoradas e fora de si; e, por estarem com medo, não disseram nada a ninguém[a].

Jesus aparece aos seus discípulos

(Mt 28.9-10,16-20; Lc 24.13-49; Jo 20.11-23; At 1.6-8)

Depois de ter ressuscitado, na madrugada de domingo, Jesus apareceu primeiro a Maria Madalena, de quem expulsara sete demônios. 10 Ela foi e contou o acontecido aos que tinham sido companheiros de Jesus, pois eles estavam muito tristes e choravam. 11 Quando ouviram que Jesus estava vivo e que ela o tinha visto, eles não acreditaram.

12 Depois disto, Jesus apareceu, numa forma diferente, a dois de seus discípulos que estavam caminhando em direção ao campo. 13 Eles voltaram e contaram aos outros discípulos, mas estes novamente não acreditaram no que eles disseram.

14 Mais tarde Jesus apareceu aos onze discípulos enquanto estavam comendo. Ele os repreendeu pela sua falta de fé e pela sua teimosia, pois não tinham acreditado nas palavras daqueles que o tinham visto ressuscitado. 15 Ele lhes disse:

—Espalhem-se por todo o mundo e anunciem as Boas Novas a todas as pessoas. 16 Deus salvará aquele que crer e for batizado, mas Deus condenará a quem não crer. 17 Estes são os sinais que acompanharão os que creem: eles expulsarão demônios em meu nome e falarão em outras línguas; 18 se pegarem em cobras com as mãos ou beberem algum veneno, nada de mal lhes acontecerá; eles colocarão suas mãos sobre os doentes e estes ficarão curados.

Jesus é levado para o céu

(Lc 24.50-53; At 1.9-11)

19 Depois de ter-lhes dito todas estas coisas, Jesus foi levado ao céu e se sentou à direita de Deus. 20 Os discípulos, então, partiram e anunciaram a mensagem por todos os lugares. O Senhor os ajudava e confirmava o que eles diziam, realizando por meio deles sinais milagrosos.

Outros manuscritos finalizam com este final mais curto: “Mas eles pronto deram instruções a Pedro e aos que estavam com ele. Depois disso, o próprio Jesus os enviou desde o leste até o oeste com a santa mensagem que nunca muda: as pessoas podem ser salvas eternamente”.
