Mark 16: 1-13

(Mark 16: 1-13) And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.  And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.  After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.  And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

Soldiers were guarded at the tomb of Jesus. The high priest asked the governor to protect the tomb as a soldier, in case the disciples of Jesus stole the body of Jesus and burst into the testament that he was alive again. The soldiers experienced a tremendous job at dawn that day. There was a big earthquake and an angel appeared. The soldiers saw a shocking phenomenon, trembled with fear, and passed out as if they were dead. When they saw the power and glory of the angel, they trembled with fear and fainted.

At the tomb, the angels comforted the scared women not to be afraid. And the angels told the women that Jesus had risen again and were not in the grave with dead bodies. While Jesus was in ministry, he said many times that he would suffer, die on the cross, and rise again three days later, and the women were reminded of what he said. And the angel shows the empty tomb without Jesus as evidence.

When the women heard the news from the angels and once again reminded what Jesus had said many times before, they realized that Jesus had risen again. The women were so happy that they ran quickly to share the news with other disciples. The women ran to tell the news of Jesus' resurrection, but this time they met the resurrected Jesus. Jesus appeared to the women.

Jesus appeared to the women. Jesus had no interest in the stunned soldiers. From death, Jesus broke the power of death and showed it. Jesus had no interest in seeking revenge against them, whether they were the Roman governor and high priest, the unjust power, or who crucified and killed Jesus.

Jesus was only concerned with scared and discouraged women. Jesus paid attention to comforting, healing, and restoring them by giving them peace. Jesus was interested in caring for them and loving them. The angels who were telling the news of Jesus' resurrection told the women to tell other disciples that Jesus had been resurrected and that they would meet in Galilee.

The resurrected Jesus said the same thing as the angel said. The two women made this known to Jesus' disciples, but no one believed in the resurrection.

Mark 2: 1-12절

(Mark 2: 1-12 절 ) And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the...

Mark 1: 21-28

(Mark 1: 21-28) And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.   And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.   And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.   And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.   And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.   And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Jesus made disciples of Peter and And...

Mark 1:1-8

(Mark 1:1-8) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Jud æ a, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.   The Gospel of Mark is the first written Gospel. Mark is not one of Jesus' twelve discipl...
