Mark 16:16

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 16:1-99

Mark 16 LOVE AND FAITH were clearly there, but as yet their faith was dull and unintelligent as to His resurrection. Even the devoted women were full of thoughts as to the embalming of His body, as the opening verses of this chapter show. But this dullness of theirs only enhances the clearness of the proofs that ultimately overwhelmed them with the conviction of His resurrection. At the rising of the sun on the first day of the week they were at the sepulchre only to find that the great stone... read more

The appearance to the eleven: v. 14. Afterward He appeared unto the Eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen. v. 15. And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. v. 16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. v. 17. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My name... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

the Power of His Resurrection Mark 16:1-20 In the dim light the women brave the dangers of an Eastern city and hasten to the grave. How often we seek Christ in the grave of old experiences or of dead and empty rites; and how often we cherish fears for which there is no occasion! In the grave where Christ had lain a young man was sitting, arrayed in a glistening robe; so out of death comes life. And one result of the Savior’s resurrection has been that myriads of noble youths, clothed in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 16:1-20

How completely all His disciples had missed the meaning of His teaching concerning His own resurrection may be gathered from this story. The women were bringing spices to embalm His body. In spite of their failure, He provided for their reception when they came to the tomb. They found a heavenly visitor. Mark gives us a very condensed account of the Lord's sojourn on earth after His resurrection. There is a very beautiful revelation of His grace and love in appearing first to Mary Magdalene,... read more

Christ's Missionary Command as Seen in the Early Church Matthew 28:18-20 ; Mark 16:15-20 ; Luke 24:45-49 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As the time came for the Lord to leave, and to return to His Father, He pressed upon the disciples the great yearning's of His soul toward a world lost in sin; and then gave command that the Gospel should be preached to all the world. Let us, for a moment, as introductory to what shall follow, study the three records where this last command was given. 1. The command... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:15-16

‘And he said to them, “You go into all the world and preach the Good News to every creature (or ‘the whole creation’). He who believes and is baptised will be saved, But he who disbelieves will be condemned.” ’ The risen Jesus repeatedly told the disciples that they had a ‘worldwide’ mission (Matthew 28:19; Luke 24:47). They would think mainly in terms of the Roman world. This was confirmation of His words in Mark 13:10. At this stage they would still be thinking in terms of winning Jews... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:9-20

Mark 16:9-Proverbs : . These verses constitute the longer of two alternative endings found in some MSS. In an Armenian text (of A.D. 986) the longer ending is attributed to Ariston, the Presbyter, perhaps the Aristion who was among the authorities of Papias, at the beginning of the second century. It is a summary, based on the gospels and Acts 9 refers to John 20; John 12 rests on Luke 24; Mark 16:17 f. on Acts 2:28. In style and vocabulary it is distinct from the rest of the gospel. To this... read more
