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 16:15

(15) And he said unto them.—See Notes on Matthew 28:16-20. There is much, however, that is so distinct in St. Mark’s report as to suggest the thought that it may have referred to a different occasion.Preach the gospel to every creature.—Better, to the whole creation. The universality of the word is, of course, limited by the nature of the case. 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

Geneva Study Bible - Mark 16:15

16:15 {3} And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to {d} every creature.(3) The apostles are appointed, and their office is limited to them, which is to preach that which they heard from him, and to minister the sacraments which Christ has instituted, having in addition to this the power to do miracles.(d) Not to the Jews only, nor in Judea only, but to all men and everywhere: and so must all the apostles do. 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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 16:15

A Divine Command Mar 16:15 So said Jesus Christ, according to the report given in the Gospel according to Mark. "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Can we make these words more universal? Can we add another province to the sphere? Let us see: "Go ye into all the world." Can you add one island to that geography a little island? Can you? "And preach the gospel to every creature." Is there one left out a little one, a black one? Say what... read more

(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
