MARKUS 16
Jesus word opgewek!
1 Die volgende aand, toe die Sabbat verby was, het Maria Magdalena en Maria, Jakobus se ma, en Salome aromatiese olie gaan koop om Jesus se liggaam daarmee te behandel.2 Baie vroeg Sondagmôre, net toe die son opkom, kom hulle by die graf aan.3 Op pad soontoe het hulle nog onder mekaar gewonder wie die klip voor die ingang van die graf vir hulle sou wegrol.
4 Maar toe hulle daar aankom en opkyk, sien hulle dat die klip - dit was 'n baie groot een - reeds weggerol was.
5 Hulle gaan toe in die graf in en daar op die regterkant sien hulle 'n jong man in wit klere sit. Hulle was heeltemal verskrik.6 Hy sê toe vir hulle: "Moenie so skrik nie. Julle soek vir Jesus van Nasaret, die Een wat gekruisig is. Hy is nie hier nie. Hy is opgewek uit die dood! Kyk, hier is die plek waar hulle sy liggaam neergelê het.
7 Maar gaan sê julle vir sy dissipels, Petrus ingesluit: Hy gaan julle solank vooruit na Galilea toe. Julle sal Hom dáár sien soos Hy vir julle gesê het."
8 Die vroue het toe van die graf af weggevlug, want hulle was vol vrees en ontsteltenis. Hulle het egter vir niemand iets gesê nie, want hulle was bang.
Maar die vroue het hierdie opdragte kortliks aan Petrus en dié by hom vertel.
Hierna het Jesus hulle self van die ooste tot die weste uitgestuur met die heilige en onfeilbare boodskap wat ewige verlossing skenk. Amen.

9 Dit was vroeg die Sondagmôre wat Jesus uit die dood opgestaan het. Hy het eerste verskyn aan Maria Magdalena, uit wie Hy sewe duiwels gedryf het.10 Sy het dit toe gaan vertel aan die dissipels wat besig was om te rou en te huil.
11 Maar toe hulle hoor dat Hy lewe en dat sy Hom gesien het, wou hulle haar nie glo nie.
12 Daarna het Hy in 'n ander gedaante aan twee van hulle verskyn wat van Jerusalem op pad was na die platteland.
13 Hulle het toe teruggegaan en dit vir die ander dissipels vertel, maar dié het selfs vir hulle nie geglo nie.
14 Nog later het Hy aan die elftal self verskyn terwyl hulle besig was om saam te eet. Hy het hulle aangespreek oor hulle ongeloof - hulle koppige onwilligheid om dié te glo wat Hom ná sy opstanding gesien het.
15 Toe het Hy hulle beveel: "Gaan die hele wêreld in en verkondig die Goeie Nuus aan almal, oral.16 Elkeen wat glo en gedoop word, sal verlos word. Maar elkeen wat nie glo nie, sal veroordeel word.17 Hierdie is die wondertekens wat dié sal beleef wat glo: Hulle sal duiwels in my Naam uitdryf, en hulle sal in nuwe tale praat.
18 Hulle sal slange ongedeerd kan hanteer en as hulle iets giftigs drink, sal dit hulle nie affekteer nie. Hulle sal siekes die hande oplê, en hulle sal gesond word."
19 Nadat die Here Jesus klaar met hulle gepraat het, is Hy in die hemel opgeneem en het Hy op die ereplek aan God se regterhand gaan sit.
20 Die dissipels het toe die Goeie Nuus oral gaan verkondig, en die Here het saam met hulle gewerk en hulle boodskap bevestig deur die wondertekens wat daarmee gepaardgegaan het.
MARK 16
Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-8; Luke 24.1-12; John 20.1-10)
1 After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James bought some spices to put on Jesus' body. 2 Very early on Sunday morning, just as the sun was coming up, they went to the tomb. 3 On their way, they were asking one another, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance for us?”
4 But when they looked, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. And it was a huge stone!
5 The women went into the tomb, and on the right side they saw a young man in a white robe sitting there. They were alarmed.
6 The man said, “Don't be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross. God has raised him to life, and he isn't here. You can see the place where they put his body.
7 t Now go and tell his disciples, and especially Peter, that he will go ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”
8 When the women ran from the tomb, they were confused and shaking all over. They were too afraid to tell anyone what had happened.ONE OLD ENDING TO MARK'S GOSPEL
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(Matthew 28.9,10; John 20.11-18)
9 Very early on the first day of the week, after Jesus had risen to life, he appeared to Mary Magdalene. Earlier he had forced seven demons out of her. 10 She left and told his friends, who were crying and mourning.
11 Even though they heard that Jesus was alive and that Mary had seen him, they still would not believe it.Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
(Luke 24.13-35)
12 Later, Jesus appeared in another form to two disciples, as they were on their way out of the city.
13 But when these disciples told what had happened, the others would not believe either.What Jesus' Followers Must Do
(Matthew 28.16-20; Luke 24.36-49; John 20.19-23; Acts 1.6-8)
14 Afterwards, Jesus appeared to his eleven disciples as they were eating. He scolded them because they were too stubborn to believe the ones who had seen him after he had been raised to life.
15 t Then he told them:
Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world. 16 Anyone who believes me and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe me will be condemned. 17 Everyone who believes me will be able to do wonderful things. By using my name they will force out demons, and they will speak new languages.
18 They will handle snakes and will drink poison and not be hurt. They will also heal sick people by placing their hands on them.Jesus Returns to Heaven
(Luke 24.50-53; Acts 1.9-11)
19 t After the Lord Jesus had said these things to the disciples, he was taken back up to heaven where he sat down at the right sidet of God.
20 Then the disciples left and preached everywhere. The Lord was with them, and the miracles they worked proved that their message was true.ANOTHER OLD ENDING TO MARK'S GOSPEL
9-10 The women quickly told Peter and his friends what had happened. Later, Jesus sent the disciples to the east and to the west with his sacred and everlasting message of how people can be saved forever.
