Mark 16:1-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 16
The Resurrection of Jesus.[a] 1 When the sabbath was over,(A) Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him.(B) 2 Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. 3 They were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. 5 On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed.(C) 6 He said to them, “Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. 7 But go and tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you.’”(D) 8 Then they went out and fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and bewilderment. They said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

- 16:1–8 The purpose of this narrative is to show that the tomb is empty and that Jesus has been raised (Mk 16:6) and is going before you to Galilee (Mk 16:7) in fulfillment of Mk 14:28. The women find the tomb empty, and an angel stationed there announces to them what has happened. They are told to proclaim the news to Peter and the disciples in order to prepare them for a reunion with him. Mark’s composition of the gospel ends at Mk 16:8 with the women telling no one, because they were afraid. This abrupt termination causes some to believe that the original ending of this gospel may have been lost. See the following note.

Dios Habla Hoy
Anuncio de la resurrección de Jesús(A)
16 Pasado el sábado, María Magdalena, María la madre de Santiago, y Salomé, compraron perfumes para perfumar el cuerpo de Jesús. 2 Y el primer día de la semana fueron al sepulcro muy temprano, apenas salido el sol, 3 diciéndose unas a otras:
—¿Quién nos quitará la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro?
4 Pero, al mirar, vieron que la piedra ya no estaba en su lugar. Esta piedra era muy grande. 5 Cuando entraron en el sepulcro vieron, sentado al lado derecho, a un joven vestido con una larga ropa blanca. Las mujeres se asustaron, 6 pero él les dijo:
—No se asusten. Ustedes buscan a Jesús de Nazaret, el que fue crucificado. Ha resucitado; no está aquí. Miren el lugar donde lo pusieron. 7 Vayan y digan a sus discípulos, y a Pedro: “Él va a Galilea para reunirlos de nuevo; allí lo verán, tal como les dijo.”
8 Entonces las mujeres salieron huyendo del sepulcro, pues estaban temblando, asustadas. Y no dijeron nada a nadie, porque tenían miedo.
