This man is probably referred to as **the younger** here, to distinguish him from other men named **James**, such as the two disciples of Jesus’ with the same name.  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
+MRK	15	40	wdrq	translate-names	Ἰωσῆ	1		The word **Joses** is the name a man. This **Joses** was not the same person as the younger brother of Jesus. See how you translated the same name in [6:3](../06/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
+MRK	15	40	qa0q	translate-names	Σαλώμη	1		The word **Salome** is the name of a woman. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
+MRK	15	41	a3qk	figs-go	αἱ συναναβᾶσαι	1	who had come up with him to Jerusalem	**Jerusalem** was higher than almost any other place in Israel, so it was normal for people to speak of going **up** to Jerusalem and going down from it. Your language may say “went up” rather than **come up** in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “who had went up with” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-go]])
+MRK	15	42	ekbl	translate-versebridge	ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον	1		If it would be more natural in your language to introduce Joseph of Arimathea and what he did, before giving the reason for what he did, you could create a verse bridge by moving this sentence to verse 43 and taking the information about Joseph of Arimathea from verse 43 and placing it after the phrase **And when evening had already come** in this verse. You would then present the combined verses as 42-43, as modeled by the UST. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-versebridge)
+MRK	15	42	lxm5	writing-background	ἤδη ὀψίας γενομένης, ἐπεὶ ἦν παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον	1	Connecting Statement:	Mark provides this background information about what day it was to help readers understand what happens in this episode. God commanded in Deuteronomy 21:22-23 that any person who was put to death by hanging on a wooden object should be buried on the same day that they were put to death. Because of this and the fact that **evening had already come** and the following day was the **Sabbath**, on which Jews did not work, the people involved wanted to bury Jesus’ body quickly. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])\n
+MRK	15	42	ug97	figs-explicit	παρασκευή, ὅ ἐστιν προσάββατον	1	when evening had already come	The phrase **the Day of Preparation** refers to the day on which Jews would make preparations for the **Sabbath** so that they would not have to do work on the **Sabbath**. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly what the Day of Preparation was.It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “the Day of Preparation on which Jews made preparations for the Sabbath. The Day of Preparation is the day before the Sabbath” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

There may be a different way to do this in your language. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “Joseph of Arimathea was a respected member of the council who also was himself waiting for the kingdom of God. He boldly came to Pilate” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants]])

+MRK	15	43	zvw4	figs-explicit	ᾐτήσατο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ	1	asked for the body of Jesus	The reason that **Joseph** asked Pilate **for the body of Jesus** was so that he could bury it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “asked for permission to get the body of Jesus in order to bury it” or “asked that he be given the body of Jesus so that he could bury it” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Joseph and the people who helped him, took Jesus’ body down, wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut from a rock.

+MRK	15	46	g9hf	figs-activepassive	ἦν λελατομημένον	1	a tomb that had been cut from a rock	If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Mark implies that a “person” or several “people” had cut the tomb from a rock.

 MRK	16	intro	j5yz			0		# Mark 16 General Notes<br><br>## Special concepts in this chapter<br><br>### The tomb<br><br>The tomb in which Jesus was buried ([Mark 15:46](../mrk/15/46.md)) was the kind of tomb in which wealthy Jewish families buried their dead. It was an actual room cut into a rock. It had a flat place on one side where they could place the body after they had put oil and spices on it and wrapped it in cloth. Then they would roll a large rock in front of the tomb so no one could see inside or enter.<br><br>## Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter<br><br>### A young man dressed in a white robe<br><br>Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all wrote about angels in white clothing with the women at Jesus’ tomb. Two of the authors called them men, but that is only because the angels were in human form. Two of the authors wrote about two angels, but the other two authors wrote about only one of them. It is best to translate each of these passages as it appears in the ULT without trying to make the passages all say exactly the same thing. (See: [Matthew 28:1-2](../mat/28/01.md) and [Mark 16:5](../mrk/16/05.md) and [Luke 24:4](../luk/24/04.md) and [John 20:12](../jhn/20/12.md))

+MRK	16	1	p61n	figs-explicit	διαγενομένου τοῦ Σαββάτου	1	And the Sabbath having passed	By using the phrase **the Sabbath having passed**, Mark is explaining that the Jewish day of rest, called the **Sabbath**, had ended and that it was now permissible, according to Jewish law, for these women to buy spices. The phrase **the Sabbath having passed** does not mean that the actual day on which the **Sabbath** occurred was over. The Jewish **Sabbath** ended at sunset on Saturday evening. If it would help your readers you could indicate explicitly. Alternate translation: “when the sun had set on Saturday evening” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

+MRK	16	6	x9m8	figs-activepassive	ἠγέρθη	1	He has been raised!	If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, it is implied that “God” did it. Alternate translation: “God raised him from the dead!” or “He has risen!”  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
+MRK	16	7	x3u1	figs-explicit	καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ	1		The phrase **and Peter** is not making a distinction between **Peter** and the disciples by indicating that **Peter** is not part of the group of Jesus’ 12 **disciples**. Rather, the phrase **and Peter** is being used to emphasize that of all of the 12 disciples of Jesus, these women should take special care to tell Peter the information that follows this phrase.

+MRK	16	8	sh40	figs-abstractnouns	εἶχεν γὰρ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις	1		If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of **amazement**, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “amazed”. Alternate translation: “for they were greatly amazed and trembled” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
+MRK	16	8	bdgb	figs-idiom	εἶχεν γὰρ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις	1		Here, the word **gipping** is an idiom means “to over come.” If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language.
