Markus 16
Hoffnung für Alle
Jesus lebt (Matthäus 28,1‒10; Lukas 24,1‒12; Johannes 20,1‒10)
16 Am Abend, als der Sabbat vorüber war, kauften Maria aus Magdala, Salome und Maria, die Mutter von Jakobus, wohlriechende Öle, um den Leichnam von Jesus zu salben. 2 Früh am Sonntagmorgen, gerade als die Sonne aufging, kamen die Frauen damit zum Grab. 3 Schon unterwegs hatten sie sich besorgt gefragt: »Wer wird uns nur den schweren Stein vor der Grabkammer beiseitewälzen?« 4 Umso erstaunter waren sie, als sie merkten, dass der riesige Stein nicht mehr vor dem Grab lag.
5 Sie betraten die Grabkammer, und da sahen sie auf der rechten Seite einen jungen Mann sitzen, der ein weißes Gewand trug. Die Frauen erschraken sehr. 6 Aber der Mann sagte zu ihnen: »Habt keine Angst! Ihr sucht Jesus aus Nazareth, den Gekreuzigten. Er ist nicht mehr hier. Er ist auferstanden! Seht her, das ist die Stelle, wo man ihn hingelegt hatte. 7 Und nun geht zu seinen Jüngern und zu Petrus und sagt ihnen, dass Jesus euch nach Galiläa vorausgehen wird. Dort werdet ihr ihn sehen, wie er es euch angekündigt hat.« 8 Da flohen die Frauen aus dem Grab und liefen davon. Angst und Schrecken hatte sie erfasst. Sie redeten mit niemandem darüber, so entsetzt waren sie.
Die Erscheinungen des Auferstandenen[a] (Matthäus 28,9‒10; Lukas 24,13‒35; Johannes 20,11‒18)
9 Jesus war frühmorgens am ersten Tag der Woche von den Toten auferstanden und erschien zuerst Maria aus Magdala, die er von sieben Dämonen befreit hatte. 10 Sie lief zu den Jüngern, die um Jesus trauerten und weinten, und berichtete ihnen: 11 »Jesus lebt! Ich habe ihn gesehen!« Aber die Jünger glaubten ihr nicht.
12 Danach erschien Jesus zwei von ihnen in einer anderen Gestalt, als sie unterwegs von Jerusalem aufs Land waren. 13 Sie kehrten gleich nach Jerusalem zurück, um es den anderen zu berichten. Aber auch ihnen glaubten sie nicht.
Der Auftrag an die Jünger (Matthäus 28,18‒20; Lukas 24,36‒53; Johannes 20,19‒23)
14 Wenig später erschien Jesus den elf Jüngern, während sie gemeinsam aßen. Er wies sie zurecht, weil sie in ihrem Unglauben und Starrsinn nicht einmal denen glauben wollten, die ihn nach seiner Auferstehung gesehen hatten.
15 Dann sagte er zu ihnen: »Geht hinaus in die ganze Welt und verkündet allen Menschen[b] die rettende Botschaft. 16 Wer glaubt und sich taufen lässt, der wird gerettet werden. Wer aber nicht glaubt, der wird verurteilt werden.
17 Die Glaubenden aber werde ich durch folgende Wunder bestätigen: In meinem Namen werden sie Dämonen austreiben und in unbekannten Sprachen reden. 18 Gefährliche Schlangen und tödliches Gift werden ihnen nicht schaden, und Kranke, denen sie die Hände auflegen, werden gesund.«
19 Nachdem Jesus, der Herr, das gesagt hatte, wurde er in den Himmel aufgenommen und nahm den Platz an Gottes rechter Seite ein.
20 Die Jünger aber zogen hinaus und verkündeten überall die rettende Botschaft. Der Herr war mit ihnen und bestätigte ihr Wort durch die Zeichen seiner Macht.
Mark 16
Living Bible
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. 3 On the way they were discussing how they could ever roll aside the huge stone from the entrance.
4 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! 5 So they entered the tomb—and there on the right sat a young man clothed in white. The women were startled, 6 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. 7 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!’”
8 The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, too frightened to talk.
9 [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 Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on Sunday morning,[a] just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3 On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4 But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, 6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,[b] who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. 7 Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”
8 The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened.[c]
[The most ancient manuscripts of Mark conclude with verse 16:8. Later manuscripts add one or both of the following endings.]
[Shorter Ending of Mark]
Then they briefly reported all this to Peter and his companions. Afterward Jesus himself sent them out from east to west with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation that gives eternal life. Amen.
[Longer Ending of Mark]
9 After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went to the disciples, who were grieving and weeping, and told them what had happened. 11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive and she had seen him, they didn’t believe her.
12 Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country. 13 They rushed back 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 stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.[d]
15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.[e] 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”
19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

- 16:6 Or Jesus the Nazarene.
- 16:8 The most reliable early manuscripts of the Gospel of Mark end at verse 8. Other manuscripts include various endings to the Gospel. A few include both the “shorter ending” and the “longer ending.” The majority of manuscripts include the “longer ending” immediately after verse 8.
- 16:14 Some early manuscripts add: And they excused themselves, saying, “This age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who does not permit God’s truth and power to conquer the evil [unclean] spirits. Therefore, reveal your justice now.” This is what they said to Christ. And Christ replied to them, “The period of years of Satan’s power has been fulfilled, but other dreadful things will happen soon. And I was handed over to death for those who have sinned, so that they may return to the truth and sin no more, and so they may inherit the spiritual, incorruptible, and righteous glory in heaven.”
- 16:17 Or new tongues; some manuscripts do not include new.
