Markus 16

1 Toe die son sak en die sabbat verby was, het Maria Magdalena, Salome en Maria, Jakobus se ma, olie gaan koop wat lekker ruik om dit op die liggaam van Jesus te gaan gooi.2 Die volgende oggend vroeg, net toe die son uitkom, is hulle weg graf toe.3 Hulle het onder mekaar gewonder: "Wie gaan ons help om daardie groot rots voor die ingang van die graf weg te kry?"
4 Daar gekom, kon hulle hulle oë byna nie glo nie. Die groot rots het eenkant weggerol gelê.5 Hulle gaan toe in die graf in wat soos 'n kamertjie gelyk het. Hulle skrik hulle byna boeglam, want daar aan hulle regterkant sit 'n jongman met spierwit klere aan.
6 "Moenie weghardloop nie," sê die man. "Ek weet julle is op soek na Jesus van Nasaret. Hy is nie meer hier nie, want Hy het uit die dood lewendig geword.
"Kom kyk maar hier waar hulle sy lyk neergesit het.7 Gaan vertel vir Petrus en sy ander volgelinge: Jesus is voor julle uit Galilea toe. Daar sal julle Hom kry soos Hy vir julle gesê het."
8 Die vroue draai toe om en hardloop met bewende bene so al wat hulle kan terug, want hulle het groot geskrik. Hulle het hulle monde gehou en met niemand daaroor gepraat nie, want hulle was te bang. (Tog het hulle vir Petrus en die ander kortliks vertel wat vir hulle gesê is. Daarna het Jesus self deur hulle die wonderlike boodskap oor Hom wat altyd waar sal bly, van die ooste tot in die weste laat verkondig. Hiervan kan ons seker wees.)
9  Vroeg daardie Sondagoggend het Jesus weer lewendig geword. Maria Magdalena het Hom eerste gesien. (Dit was sy uit wie Jesus mos sewe demone verjaag het.)10 Sy is toe daar weg om vir die ander volgelinge van Jesus te gaan vertel. Hulle almal was nog baie hartseer oor alles wat gebeur het en het gehuil.11 Toe Maria vir hulle vertel dat Jesus leef en dat sy Hom gesien het, wou hulle nie 'n woord glo wat sy sê nie.
12 'n Rukkie later het nog twee, wat iewers in die platteland op pad was, Jesus op 'n ander manier gesien.13 Hulle het vir die ander gaan vertel wat gebeur het, maar dié het hulle ook nie geglo nie.
14 'n Ander keer was Jesus se elf getrouste volgelinge besig om te eet toe Jesus daar tussen hulle staan. Hy het ernstig met hulle daaroor gepraat dat hulle nie wil glo dat Hy lewe nie en dat hulle so hardkoppig is om nie die ander wat Hom lewendig gesien het te wil glo nie.15 Hy sê vir hulle: "Gaan vertel vir al die mense die goeie nuus oor My. Almal moet dit hoor.
16 "Elkeen wat julle boodskap glo en by julle as Christene aansluit deur gedoop te word, sal gered word. Iemand wat dit nie wil glo nie, kan maar vergeet: God sal hom straf.
17 "Dié wat glo, sal baie wonderlike dinge doen. Ek sal hulle die krag gee om demone uit mense te verjaag. Hulle sal spesiale nuwe tale kan praat en18 sal slange met hulle kaal hande optel. Gif en sulke dinge sal hulle ook niks kan aandoen nie. Hulle sal net aan siek mense raak en die mense sal dadelik gesond word."
19 Daarna is die Here Jesus terug hemel toe om by God self op 'n ereplek te sit.20 Sy volgelinge het die boodskap oral gaan vertel. Die Here self het hulle gehelp en het gewys dat dit waar is deur wonderlike dinge daarna te laat gebeur.

Mark 16

The Resurrection

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spicests so that they might go and anoint him.2 And very early on the first day of the week, at sunrise, they went to the tomb.3 They had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”4 Butt when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.5 Thent as they went into the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robes sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified.s He has been raised!t He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.7 But go, tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”

8 Thent they went out and ran from the tomb, for terror and bewilderment had seized them.t And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

The Longer Ending of Mark

9 Early on the first day of the week, after he arose, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons.10 She went out and told those who were with him, while they were mourning and weeping.

11 And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
12 After this he appeared in a different form to two of them while they were on their way to the country.13 They went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.14 Then he appeared to the eleven themselves, while they were eating, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him resurrected.15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;t18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them;t they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.”19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

20 They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs.]]
