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?

La resurrección
16 (A)Pasado el día de reposo, María Magdalena(B), María, la madre de Jacobo[a], y Salomé, compraron especias aromáticas(C) para ir a ungirle. 2 Y muy de mañana, el primer día de la semana, llegaron* al sepulcro cuando el sol ya había salido. 3 Y se decían unas a otras: ¿Quién nos removerá la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro(D)? 4 Cuando levantaron los ojos, vieron* que la piedra, aunque[b] era sumamente grande, había sido removida. 5 Y entrando en el sepulcro, vieron a un joven sentado al lado derecho, vestido con ropaje blanco(E); y ellas se asustaron(F). 6 Pero él les dijo*: No os asustéis(G); buscáis a Jesús nazareno(H), el crucificado. Ha resucitado, no está aquí; mirad el lugar donde le pusieron(I). 7 Pero id, decid a sus discípulos y a Pedro: «Él va delante de vosotros a Galilea(J); allí le veréis, tal como os dijo». 8 Y saliendo ellas, huyeron del sepulcro, porque un gran temblor y espanto se había apoderado de ellas; y no dijeron nada a nadie porque tenían miedo.
Aparición de Jesús a María Magdalena
9 [c]Y después de haber resucitado, muy temprano el primer día de la semana, Jesús se apareció primero a María Magdalena(K), de la que había echado fuera siete demonios. 10 Y ella fue y se lo comunicó a los que habían estado con Él(L), que estaban lamentándose y llorando. 11 Cuando ellos oyeron que Él estaba vivo y que ella le había visto, se negaron a creerlo(M).
Aparición a dos discípulos
12 Después de esto, se apareció(N) en forma distinta a dos de ellos cuando iban de camino al campo(O). 13 Y estos fueron y se lo comunicaron a los demás, pero a ellos tampoco les creyeron(P).
La gran comisión
14 Después se apareció(Q) a los once mismos(R) cuando estaban sentados[d] a la mesa, y los reprendió por su incredulidad y dureza de corazón, porque no habían creído a los que le habían visto resucitado(S). 15 Y les dijo: Id por todo el mundo y predicad el evangelio a toda criatura[e](T). 16 El que crea y sea bautizado será salvo; pero el que no crea será condenado(U). 17 Y estas señales[f] acompañarán a los que han creído: en mi nombre echarán fuera demonios(V), hablarán en nuevas lenguas(W); 18 tomarán serpientes(X) en las manos, y aunque beban algo mortífero, no les hará daño; sobre los enfermos pondrán las manos, y se pondrán bien(Y).
Ascensión de Jesucristo
19 Entonces, el Señor Jesús, después de hablar con ellos(Z), fue recibido en el cielo(AA) y se sentó a la diestra de Dios(AB). 20 Y ellos salieron y predicaron por todas partes, colaborando el Señor con ellos, y confirmando la palabra por medio de las señales[g] que la seguían[h]. Ellas comunicaron inmediatamente a Pedro y a sus compañeros todas estas instrucciones. Y después de esto, Jesús mismo envió por medio de ellos, desde el oriente hasta el occidente, el mensaje sacrosanto e incorruptible de la salvación eterna.[i]

A ressurreição(A)
16 E, passado o sábado, Maria Madalena, Salomé e Maria, mãe de Tiago, compraram aromas para irem ungi-lo. 2 E, no primeiro dia da semana, foram ao sepulcro, de manhã cedo, ao nascer do sol, 3 e diziam umas às outras: Quem nos revolverá a pedra da porta do sepulcro? 4 E, olhando, viram que já a pedra estava revolvida; e era ela muito grande. 5 E, entrando no sepulcro, viram um jovem assentado à direita, vestido de uma roupa comprida e branca; e ficaram espantadas. 6 Porém ele disse-lhes: Não vos assusteis; buscais a Jesus, o Nazareno, que foi crucificado; já ressuscitou, não está aqui; eis aqui o lugar onde o puseram. 7 Mas ide, dizei a seus discípulos e a Pedro que ele vai adiante de vós para a Galileia; ali o vereis, como ele vos disse. 8 E, saindo elas apressadamente, fugiram do sepulcro, porque estavam possuídas de temor e assombro; e nada diziam a ninguém, porque temiam.
Aparições de Jesus depois da sua ressurreição
9 E Jesus, tendo ressuscitado na manhã do primeiro dia da semana, apareceu primeiramente a Maria Madalena, da qual tinha expulsado sete demônios. 10 E, partindo ela, anunciou-o àqueles que tinham estado com ele, os quais estavam tristes e chorando.
11 E, ouvindo eles que Jesus vivia e que tinha sido visto por ela, não o creram.
12 E, depois, manifestou-se em outra forma a dois deles que iam de caminho para o campo. 13 E, indo estes, anunciaram-no aos outros, mas nem ainda estes creram.
14 Finalmente apareceu aos onze, estando eles assentados juntamente, e lançou-lhes em rosto a sua incredulidade e dureza de coração, por não haverem crido nos que o tinham visto já ressuscitado. 15 E disse-lhes: Ide por todo o mundo, pregai o evangelho a toda criatura. 16 Quem crer e for batizado será salvo; mas quem não crer será condenado. 17 E estes sinais seguirão aos que crerem: em meu nome, expulsarão demônios; falarão novas línguas; 18 pegarão nas serpentes; e, se beberem alguma coisa mortífera, não lhes fará dano algum; e imporão as mãos sobre os enfermos e os curarão.
19 Ora, o Senhor, depois de lhes ter falado, foi recebido no céu e assentou-se à direita de Deus. 20 E eles, tendo partido, pregaram por todas as partes, cooperando com eles o Senhor e confirmando a palavra com os sinais que se seguiram. Amém!
Mark 16
New International Version
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. 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?”(C)
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(D) sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 “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. 7 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)
8 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.]
9 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.
