Mark 16
Contemporary English Version
Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-8; Luke 24.1-12; John 20.1-10)
16 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 (A) 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[a]
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 (B) 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 (C) 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 side[b] 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[c]
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.
马可福音 16
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
耶稣从死里复活
16 过了安息日,抹大拉的马利亚和雅各的母亲马利亚并撒罗米买了香膏,要去膏耶稣的身体。 2 七日的第一日清早,出太阳的时候,她们来到坟墓那里, 3 彼此说:“谁给我们把石头从墓门滚开呢?” 4 那石头原来很大,她们抬头一看,却见石头已经滚开了。 5 她们进了坟墓,看见一个少年人坐在右边,穿着白袍,就甚惊恐。 6 那少年人对她们说:“不要惊恐!你们寻找那钉十字架的拿撒勒人耶稣,他已经复活了,不在这里。请看安放他的地方! 7 你们可以去告诉他的门徒和彼得说:‘他在你们以先往加利利去,在那里你们要见他,正如他从前所告诉你们的。’” 8 她们就出来,从坟墓那里逃跑,又发抖又惊奇,什么也不告诉人,因为她们害怕。
耶稣显现于抹大拉之马利亚看
9 在七日的第一日清早,耶稣复活了,就先向抹大拉的马利亚显现,耶稣从她身上曾赶出七个鬼。 10 她去告诉那向来跟随耶稣的人,那时他们正哀恸哭泣。 11 他们听见耶稣活了,被马利亚看见,却是不信。
耶稣数次向门徒显现
12 这事以后,门徒中间有两个人往乡下去。走路的时候,耶稣变了形象,向他们显现。 13 他们就去告诉其余的门徒,其余的门徒也是不信。
门徒奉差遣
14 后来,十一个门徒坐席的时候,耶稣向他们显现,责备他们不信、心里刚硬,因为他们不信那些在他复活以后看见他的人。 15 他又对他们说:“你们往普天下去,传福音给万民[a]听。 16 信而受洗的必然得救,不信的必被定罪。 17 信的人必有神迹随着他们,就是:奉我的名赶鬼;说新方言; 18 手能拿蛇;若喝了什么毒物,也必不受害;手按病人,病人就必好了。”
主被接到天上
19 主耶稣和他们说完了话,后来被接到天上,坐在神的右边。 20 门徒出去,到处宣传福音。主和他们同工,用神迹随着证实所传的道。阿门。

Mark 16
New King James Version
He Is Risen(A)
16 Now (B)when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome (C)bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 (D)Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 (E)And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 (F)But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going [a]before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, (G)as He said to you.”
8 So they went out [b]quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. (H)And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord(I)
9 [c]Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, (J)out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 (K)She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 (L)And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples(M)
12 After that, He appeared in another form (N)to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
The Great Commission(O)
14 (P)Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 (Q)And He said to them, “Go into all the world (R)and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 (S)He who believes and is baptized will be saved; (T)but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these (U)signs will follow those who [d]believe: (V)In My name they will cast out demons; (W)they will speak with new tongues; 18 (X)they[e] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; (Y)they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand(Z)
19 So then, (AA)after the Lord had spoken to them, He was (AB)received up into heaven, and (AC)sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them (AD)and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
