Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-8Luke 24.1-12John 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 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 28.9Matthew 10John 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 28.16-20Luke 24.36-49John 20.19-23Acts 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 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 24.50-53Acts 1.9-11)19 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 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
21-22 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.
1 Un, kad sabata diena bija pagājusi, tad Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jēkaba māte, un Salome pirka dārgas svaidāmās zāles, lai ietu un Jēzu svaidītu. 2 Un pirmajā nedēļas dienā ļoti agri, saulei lecot, tās gāja uz kapu 3 un runāja savā starpā: "Kas mums novels akmeni no kapa durvīm?" 4 Un paskatīdamās tās redzēja, ka akmens bija novelts; tas bija ļoti liels. 5 Un, kapā iegājušas, tās redzēja kādu jaunekli pa labo roku sēžam, apģērbtu garās baltās drēbēs. Un tās izbijās. 6 Viņš tām sacīja: "Nebīstieties! Jūs meklējat Jēzu no Nacaretes, kas bija krustā sists; Viņš ir augšāmcēlies, Viņa nav šeit: redziet še to vietu, kur Viņu nolika; 7 bet noeita un sakait to Viņa mācekļiem un Pēterim, ka Viņš jums pa priekšu noies uz Galileju, tur jūs Viņu redzēsit, kā Viņš jums ir sacījis." 8 Un tās izgāja ārā un bēga no kapa, jo drebēšana un bailes tās bija pārņēmušas, tās nesacīja nevienam nenieka, jo tās bijās. 9 Bet, uzcēlies pirmajā nedēļas dienā rīta agrumā, Jēzus parādījās papriekš Marijai Magdalēnai, no kuras Viņš septiņus ļaunus garus bija izdzinis. 10 Šī gāja un pasludināja to tiem, kas ar Viņu bijuši un tagad skuma un raudāja. 11 Un tie, dzirdēdami, ka Viņš esot dzīvs un tā Viņu redzējusi, neticēja. 12 Bet pēc tam, kad divi no tiem staigāja, Jēzus, tiem uz lauku ejot, parādījās citā veidā. 13 Un tie arīdzan nogājuši to pārējiem pasludināja, tomēr arī tiem viņi neticēja. 14 Bet pēc tam Viņš parādījās tiem vienpadsmit pie galda sēžot un norāja viņu neticību un cietsirdību, ka tie nebija ticējuši tiem, kas pēc Viņa augšāmcelšanās Viņu jau bija redzējuši. 15 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: "Eita pa visu pasauli un pasludiniet evaņģēliju visai radībai. 16 Kas tic un top kristīts, tas tiks izglābts, bet, kas netic, tiks pazudināts. 17 Bet šīs zīmes ticīgiem ies līdzi: Manā Vārdā tie ļaunus garus izdzīs, jaunām mēlēm runās, 18 tie ar rokām pacels čūskas, un, kad tie dzers nāvīgas zāles, tad tās tiem nekaitēs. Neveseliem viņi rokas uzliks, un tie kļūs veseli." 19 Un Tas Kungs, kad Viņš ar tiem bija runājis, ir uzņemts debesīs un sēž pie Dieva labās rokas. 20 Un tie izgāja un mācīja visās malās, un Tas Kungs tiem darbā palīdzēja un vārdu apstiprināja ar līdzejošām zīmēm.
