John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:1-20

The Resurrection1-8. The women at the tomb, and the angel (Matthew 28:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). See on Mt and Jn.1. Mary the mother of James] lit. ’Mary of James,’ i.e. probably ’Mary daughter of James,’ or just possibly ’Mary wife of James.’ She is perhaps the same as Mary the mother of James and Joses, Mark 15:40.9-20. Conclusion of the Gospel. One uncial MS gives a second termination to the Gospel as follows: ’And they reported all the things that had been commanded them briefly (or... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 16:9-20

(9-20) Now when Jesus was risen early.—See Notes on Matthew 28:16-20. The history of the verses that follow is in every way remarkable. They are not found in two of the oldest MSS.—the Sinaitic and the Vatican—are marked as doubtful in many others, and are wanting in some versions. In some of these (e.g., in the Vatican MS.) there is a blank space left between Mark 16:8 and the beginning of St. Luke, as though the writer had suspended his work and waited for materials. The absence was noticed... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 16:16

(16) He that believeth not shall be damned.—Better, shall be condemned. The Greek word does not necessarily imply the idea of irreversible endless condemnation which has come to be attached to the English one. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 16:1-20

Mark 16:1 Geiler of Kaysersberg said on this text: 'If thou desirest, like the three holy women, to anoint the dead Lord, thou must anoint Him inwardly, that is, thou must remember how for thy sake God died and for thy sake was raised again; thou must be willing to do what thou knowest to be the will of God and pleasing unto Him, for this ointment is nothing else but thy resolve to do God's will and that of none other. If thou hast thus spiritually anointed Christ our Lord in His own Person,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-18

Chapter 16CHAPTER 16:1-18 (Mark 16:1-18)CHRIST RISEN"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen. And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb? and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceeding great. And entering into the tomb,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

CRUCIFIED AND RISEN The closing events in Mark’s Gospel: Jesus before Pilate (Mark 15:1-15 ); mocked by the soldiers (Mark 15:23 ); nailed to the cross (Mark 15:24-41 ); buried in the tomb (Mark 15:42-47 ); risen from the dead (Mark 16:1-18 ); ascended to heaven (Mark 16:19-20 ). As in other instances, Mark’s account of the trial before Pilate is the briefest while that of Matthew is the longest in the Gospels. The former, however, especially emphasizes the religious hatred of the people. He... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 16:15-18

(15) And he said unto them; Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (17) And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. It should seem, from the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 16:16

Let those weep and lament who have not yet seen him, and in a short time they shall receive consolation. Blessed are they that weep, for they shall be comforted, St. Matthew v. (St. Jerome) --- Perhaps some one will say within himself, I have already believed, I shall be saved: he says true, if his faith be supported by good works; for that only is true faith, which does not contradict in works what is believed in words. (St. Gregory) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:14-18

14-18 The evidences of the truth of the gospel are so full, that those who receive it not, may justly be upbraided with their unbelief. Our blessed Lord renewed his choice of the eleven as his apostles, and commissioned them to go into all the world, to preach his gospel to every creature. Only he that is a true Christian shall be saved through Christ. Simon Magus professed to believe, and was baptized, yet he was declared to be in the bonds of iniquity: see his history in Acts 8:13-25.... read more
