Mark 16:10-11

[10] And she  went  and told  them that had been  with  him,  as they mourned  and  wept.  [11] And they,  when they had heard  that  he was alive,  and  had been seen  of  her,  believed not. 

What does Mark 16:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Mary reported to the disciples that she had seen the risen Christ (cf. Mark 16:7). While the rest of the Jews rejoiced, celebrating the Passover season, Jesus" disciples mourned His death. They would not believe Mary"s eyewitness testimony. This should encourage other disciples who find that unbelievers will not believe their witness to the resurrection of Jesus.
