SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–8: Jesus rose from the dead

In this section, Mark wrote about what happened when Jesus rose from the dead. He rose just as he had told his disciples that he would.

When the Sabbath was over, some women who knew Jesus bought spices. They planned to bring them to Jesus’ tomb early the next morning to anoint his body. When they arrived at the tomb, they saw that someone had rolled the large stone away from the entrance. A young man dressed in a white robe was sitting inside the tomb. He told them that Jesus was not there. He was alive again! Then the women became afraid and ran from the tomb.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Comes Back to Life (GW)

The Resurrection of Jesus (NRSV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 28:1–8; Luke 24:1–12; and John 20:1–12, 20:15.

Paragraph 16:6–7

In this paragraph, the young man in the tomb first told the women not to be afraid of him. He then told them that Jesus has risen from the dead and was going ahead of his disciples to Galilee.

16:6a

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed.

¶ He said to them, “Do not be afraid.
¶ But the young man told them not to fear,

But: The word But introduces the way that the young man (the angel) responded to the women’s alarm. Even though they were afraid, he told them they did not need to be and explained why. This word indicates that contrast and introduces what he said to them.

he said to them: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as he said to them occurs at the beginning of this verse. Place it where it is natural in your language.

Do not be alarmed: The young man calmed the women by telling them not to be alarmed. The Greek verb that the BSB translates as alarmed is the same one that was used in 16:5c. You may translate it in the same way here.

16:6b

You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified.

I know you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the one they killed on a cross.
and he said, “You have come here to see the body of Jesus from/of Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross.

You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene: The young man knew why the women had come. They were expecting to find the dead body of Jesus. Do not translate You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene in a way that sounds as though they expected Jesus to be alive.

Jesus the Nazarene: The phrase Jesus the Nazarene identifies Jesus as a person from the town of Nazareth (see 10:47a). See also how you translated this phrase in 14:67c.

who was crucified: The phrase who was crucified identifies very clearly the person whom the women were looking for. The young man indicated clearly that Jesus had really been killed. This phrase makes the following statement in 16:6c more dramatic because of the contrast.

The verb was crucified is a passive. In some languages it may be necessary to make it active. For example:

whom they/men crucified

who died on a cross

crucified: The word crucified comes from the verb “crucify.” It means to execute (kill) someone by nailing or tying him to a cross, then setting the cross upright. This was a Roman way to cause criminals to die a slow and painful death.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

killed/executed on a cross

nailed/fastened to a cross to kill him

Here are some other ways to translate cross:

plank/wood of death

crossed-beam(s) of death

a tree for killing people

a stake/post to which they fasten/nail someone to kill him

See how you translated crucified in 15:13.

16:6c

He has risen! He is not here!

He is alive again! He is not here anymore.
God raised him from the dead! He is not here in the tomb.
He is not here. God has caused him to live again!

He has risen: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as He has risen is literally “he was raised.” It is a passive. It means “He has risen from the dead” or “He is alive again.” If you need to say who raised Jesus from the dead, you should say that it was God. For example:

God has raised him to life (CEV)

God has caused him to live again

He is not here: The phrase He is not here refers to the fact that Jesus was not in the tomb anymore.

General Comment on 16:6c

In your language it may be more natural to reorder the two statements in this part of the verse. For example:

He is not here. God raised him from the dead!

16:6d

See the place where they put Him.

Look, there is the place they laid him. (NRSV)
Look! That is the place where his body was laid.

See the place where they put Him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as See is often used to call attention to something. In this context the word See calls the women’s attention to the place where Jesus’ body had been. The man was probably pointing to this place.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Look, there is the place they laid him.

Here is the place where they placed him.

the place where they put Him: The young man was probably pointing to the stone shelf inside the tomb, where Jesus’ body had been placed when he was buried.

The pronoun they refers to Joseph of Arimathea and the people who helped him place the body of Jesus in the tomb. In some languages it may be natural to translate this pronoun with a general word such as “people":

the place where the people/men laid him

In some languages it may be natural to use a passive. For example:

the place where he was placed (GNT)

the place where his body was laid

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ λέγει αὐταῖς Μή ἐκθαμβεῖσθε Ἰησοῦν Ζητεῖτε τόν Ναζαρηνὸν τόν ἐσταυρωμένον Ἠγέρθη οὐκ Ἐστίν ὧδε ἴδε ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν)

Here, the word But introduces what the young man says in contrast to how the women reacted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [However,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be what the women saw. See how you expressed the similar phrase in [16:5](../16/05.md). Alternate translation: [These things must not alarm you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: [whom Pilate’s soldiers crucified]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠγέρθη

Here, the word raised refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He was restored to life]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠγέρθη

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the young man could be implying that: (1) God did it. Alternate translation: [God raised him up] (2) Jesus himself did it. Alternate translation: [He rose up]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἴδε

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the three women and asks them to look at something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to look or pay attention. Alternate translation: [See] or [Observe]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν

he the place where ˱they˲_laid him

Here the young man refers to the place within the tomb where Joseph of Arimathea and his helpers put Jesus’ body. This place was probably a shelf or ledge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [this is the flat area where they put his body] or [this is the ledge within this tomb where they put him]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
