Was bedeutet das?

This verse from the Gospel of Mark tells us that after hearing about Mary's encounter with Jesus, the disciples did not believe that he was alive and had been seen by her. The key message here is about disbelief in the face of new information.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you hear your best friend found a magic tree in the park, but when you tell others, they don't believe you. That's kind of what happened with Jesus' disciples — even though Mary told them she saw Jesus alive, they didn’t think it was true.

Historischer Hintergrund

This verse is from Mark’s Gospel, written around A.D. 65-70 for a predominantly Gentile audience. The cultural setting reflects the early Christian community's struggles with accepting the resurrection of Jesus.
