Mark 16
1 [On Saturday evening] when (the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest) had ended, Mary [from] Magdala, Mary the mother of the [younger] James, and Salome bought fragrant ointment. [The Jews had a custom of] anointing bodies [before they buried them, and the women wanted to follow this custom].
Toen de sabbat voorbij was, kochten Maria Magdalena, Maria van Jakobus, en Salome specerijen, om Jesus te gaan balsemen.
2 So very early on Sunday, [just after] the sun rose, they [took the fragrant ointment] and started toward the tomb.
Zeer vroeg op de eerste dag der week, bij het opgaan der zon, kwamen ze bij het graf.
3 [While they were going there], they were saying to each other, “Who will roll away for us the stone [that blocks] the entrance of the tomb?”
En ze zeiden tot elkander: Wie zal ons de steen wegrollen voor de ingang van het graf?
4 [After they arrived], they looked up and saw that the stone had [already] been rolled away {that someone had [already] rolled away the stone}. [They were surprised because it] would have been difficult to move such a huge stone.
Maar toen ze gingen zien, merkten ze, dat de steen al op zij was gerold; want hij was zeer groot.
5 They entered the tomb and saw [an angel who looked like] a young man. He was sitting at the right side [of the cave]. He was wearing a [shining] white robe. As a result, they were astonished.
Ze gingen het graf in, en zagen aan de rechterkant een jongeling zitten, in een wit gewaad gekleed. Ze werden hevig ontsteld.
6 The young man said to them, “Do not be astonished! I [know that] you are looking for Jesus, the man from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross {whom they nailed to a cross}. But he has become alive again! He is not here! Look! [Here is] the place where they placed his [body].
Maar hij sprak tot haar: Weest maar niet bang! Gij zoekt Jesus van Názaret, die gekruisigd is? Hij is verrezen; hier is Hij niet. Ziet hier de plaats, waar men Hem heeft neergelegd.
7 But, instead [of remaining here], go and tell his disciples. Particularly [be sure] that you tell Peter. Tell them, ‘[Jesus] is going ahead of you to Galilee [district], and you will see him there, just like he told you [previously’]!”
Gaat nu heen, en zegt aan zijn leerlingen en aan Petrus: Hij gaat u vóór naar Galilea; daar zult gij Hem zien, zoals Hij het u heeft gezegd.
8 The women went outside and ran from the tomb. They were trembling [because they were afraid], and they were astonished. But they did not say anything to anyone [about this] while they were going, because they were afraid.
Ze gingen naar buiten, en vluchtten weg van het graf; want schrik en ontzetting had haar bevangen. En ze zeiden er niemand iets van; zo bang waren ze.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) [When Jesus became alive [again] early on Sunday morning, he appeared first to Mary [from] Magdala [town]. She was the woman from whom he had [previously] expelled seven evil spirits.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Toen Hij dan verrezen was, ‘s morgens vroeg, op de eerste dag van de week, verscheen Hij het eerst aan Maria Magdalena, uit wie Hij zeven duivels had uitgedreven.
10 She went to those who had been with [Jesus], while they were mourning and crying. She told them [what she had seen].
Deze ging het melden aan hen, die met Hem waren geweest, en die nu treurden en weenden.
11 But when she told them that Jesus was alive again and that she had seen him, they refused to believe it.
Maar toen ze hoorden, dat Hij leefde en door haar was gezien, geloofden ze het niet.
12 Later [that day], Jesus appeared to two of [his disciples] while they were walking [from Jerusalem to their homes in] the [surrounding] area. [But they did not recognize him quickly because] he looked very different.
Daarna verscheen Hij in een andere gedaante aan twee van hen, die op weg waren naar buiten.
13 [After they recognized him], those two went back [to Jerusalem. They told his other followers what had happened], but they did not believe it.
Deze gingen terug, en meldden het aan de anderen; maar ook hen geloofden ze niet.
14 Later he appeared to the eleven [apostles] while they were eating. He rebuked them because they had stubbornly refused to believe [the reports of] those who saw him after he had become alive again.
Eindelijk verscheen Hij aan alle elf, terwijl ze aan tafel waren. Hij verweet hun het ongeloof en de verstoktheid van hart, omdat ze hèn niet hadden geloofd, die Hem na de verrijzenis hadden gezien.
15 [Later] he said to them, “Go into the whole world and preach the good message to everyone!
En Hij sprak tot hen: Gaat heel de wereld door, en predikt het evangelie aan ieder schepsel.
16 Everyone who believes [your message] and who is baptized will be saved {[God] will save}. But everyone who does not believe it will be condemned {[God] will condemn}.
Wie gelooft en gedoopt is, zal zalig worden; maar wie niet gelooft, zal worden veroordeeld.
17 Those who believe [my good message] will perform miracles. Specifically, by my power they will expel evil spirits. They will speak in languages that they have not learned.
Deze wonderen zullen hen vergezellen, die hebben geloofd: in mijn Naam zullen ze duivels uitdrijven; vreemde talen zullen ze spreken;
18 If they pick up snakes [accidentally] or if they drink any poisonous [liquid accidentally], they will not be hurt. [Whenever] they put their hands on sick [people in order that God will heal them], those sick people will become well.”
slangen zullen ze opnemen; en al drinken ze dodelijk vergif, het zal hun niet schaden; zieken zullen ze de handen opleggen, en zij zullen genezen.
19 After the Lord Jesus had said this to [the disciples, he was taken] {[God] took him} up into heaven. Then he sat down on his throne beside God [to rule with him].
Toen de Heer Jesus met hen gesproken had, is Hij opgenomen ten hemel, en is neergezeten aan de rechterhand Gods.
20 [As for the disciples], they went out [from Jerusalem, and then they preached everywhere. Wherever they went], the Lord enabled them to perform miracles. [By doing that], he showed people that God’s message is true.
Maar zij trokken uit, om overal te preken; en de Heer werkte met hen mee, en bevestigde het woord door de wonderen, die het vergezelden.
