Mark 16:7

In Context

6The man said to them, “Don't be frightened. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, the man that died on the cross. God has made him come alive again. Look, his body was here, but it is not here now.”

8The women were so amazed and so frightened they were shaking. They ran out of the cave, and did not talk to anyone. We think that this is the end of Mark's story about Jesus. There is more to this story but we are not sure who wrote it. In those days people wrote their stories on long pieces of special paper. We do not have the paper that Mark wrote, we only have copies of it. Some copies have a short extra ending that have verses 9 and 10. But other copies have a longer extra ending that goes from verse 9 to verse 20. Those women went and told Peter and the other followers what had happened. Then Jesus met his followers and sent them out everywhere. He sent them towards the east, and towards the west. His followers told people in all those places the good news about Jesus. They said, “Jesus can save you so that you can live with him forever.” That message is really special, and it is true. And you can read this story in Matthew 28:9-10; John 20:11-18.
