EVANGELO SECONDO S. MARCO 16

1 E passato il sabato, Maria Maddalena e Maria madre di Giacomo e Salome comprarono degli aromi per andare a imbalsamar Gesù. 2 E la mattina del primo giorno della settimana, molto per tempo, vennero al sepolcro sul levar del sole. 3 E dicevano tra loro: Chi ci rotolerà la pietra dall'apertura del sepolcro? 4 E alzati gli occhi, videro che la pietra era stata rotolata; ed era pur molto grande. 5 Ed essendo entrate nel sepolcro, videro un giovinetto, seduto a destra, vestito d'una veste bianca, e furono spaventate. 6 Ma egli disse loro: Non vi spaventate! Voi cercate Gesù il Nazareno che è stato crocifisso; egli è risuscitato; non è qui; ecco il luogo dove l'aveano posto. 7 Ma andate a dire ai suoi discepoli ed a Pietro, ch'egli vi precede in Galilea; quivi lo vedrete, come v'ha detto. 8 Ed esse, uscite, fuggiron via dal sepolcro, perché eran prese da tremito e da stupore, e non dissero nulla ad alcuno, perché aveano paura. 9 Or Gesù, essendo risuscitato la mattina del primo giorno della settimana, apparve prima a Maria Maddalena, dalla quale avea cacciato sette demoni. 10 Costei andò ad annunziarlo a coloro ch'eran stati con lui, i quali facean cordoglio e piangevano. 11 Ed essi, udito ch'egli viveva ed era stato veduto da lei, non lo credettero. 12 Or dopo questo, apparve in altra forma a due di loro ch'eran in cammino per andare ai campi; 13 e questi andarono ad annunziarlo agli altri; ma neppure a quelli credettero. 14 Di poi, apparve agli undici, mentre erano a tavola; e li rimproverò della loro incredulità e durezza di cuore, perché non avean creduto a quelli che l'avean veduto risuscitato. 15 E disse loro: Andate per tutto il mondo e predicate l'evangelo ad ogni creatura. 16 Chi avrà creduto e sarà stato battezzato sarà salvato; ma chi non avrà creduto sarà condannato. 17 Or questi sono i segni che accompagneranno coloro che avranno creduto: nel nome mio cacceranno i demoni; parleranno in lingue nuove; 18 prenderanno in mano dei serpenti; e se pur bevessero alcunché di mortifero, non ne avranno alcun male; imporranno le mani agl'infermi ed essi guariranno. 19 Il Signor Gesù dunque, dopo aver loro parlato, fu assunto nel cielo, e sedette alla destra di Dio. 20 E quelli se ne andarono a predicare da per tutto, operando il Signore con essi e confermando la Parola coi segni che l'accompagnavano.

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.
