1 Cuando pasó el sábado, María Magdalena, María, la [madre de] Jacobo, y Salomé compraron especias aromáticas para ir a ungirlo. 2 El primero de la semana, muy temprano en la mañana al salir el sol, fueron al sepulcro. 3 Y se preguntaban: ¿Quién nos removerá la piedra de la entrada del sepulcro? 4 Pero, al levantar la mirada, vieron que, aunque la piedra era muy grande, ya había sido rodada. 5 Entraron en el sepulcro y vieron a un joven sentado a la derecha, vestido de un manto largo y blanco, y se alarmaron. 6 Pero él les dijo: No se alarmen. Buscan al Nazareno que fue crucificado. No está aquí. Fue resucitado. Miren el lugar donde lo pusieron. 7 Pero vayan, digan a sus discípulos y a Pedro que va delante de ustedes a Galilea. Allí lo verán, como les dijo. 8◆ Salieron del sepulcro y huyeron, porque un temblor y asombro las dominaba. A nadie le informaron porque tenían miedo. [[ 9◆ ]]

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Mark 16:9–20: the longer ending of Mark
The two oldest complete Greek Bibles end the Gospel of Mark at 16:8, with the women fleeing the tomb in fear. Most later manuscripts continue with verses 9–20, which tell of the risen Lord’s appearances, the commission and the Ascension. The ending was known by the second century and the Orthodox Church reads it at Sunday Matins. Most scholars think it was added to Mark by another hand.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Also, towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says: "So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God;" confirming what had been spoken by the prophet: "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thy foes Thy footstool." …
So again when we hear, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;" we do not of course understand it of one who believes in such a way "as the devils believe and tremble;" nor of those who receive baptism in such sort as Simon Magus, who though he could be baptized, could not be saved.

Ye heard while the Gospel was read, "Go, preach the Gospel to the whole creation which is under heaven." Consequently, the disciples were sent "every where:" with signs and wonders to attest that what they spake, they had seen.
