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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:17-18

‘And these signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out devils, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing it will not hurt them in any way. They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.’ ‘Signs.’ That is signs that the Kingly Rule of God has now come and that Jesus has taken His place of authority at the right hand of God. Note that the casting out of devils come first. It is always in Mark a sign of the... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 16:15

Mark 16:15 Christ's Commission to His Apostles. Introduction. These words present four objects: Work, Workmen, a Field for Work, and the Divine Master of the workmen. I. Work. The work is preaching the Gospel. The power of speech is a wondrous faculty of man, lifting him above all speechless creatures, and placing him near to that God by whose word the heavens were made, and who created all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. Speech is reason's younger brother, and "a most kingly... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 16:16

Mark 16:16 We must all tremble when we hear those awful declarations in the Athanasian Creed, respecting the Catholic faith, such as, "Which faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly." And some are offended, and wish these sentences were not there. But if it sounds severe and uncharitable for the Church to speak in this way, then, no doubt, the same must be said of the Church of God in old times; and we shall find just the same difficulty... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 16:18

Mark 16:18 The Safety and Helpfulness of Faith. I. Consider the safety which Christ offers. Notice it is a safety, not by the avoidance of deadly things, but by the neutralizing of them through a higher and stronger power. There is no such idle promise as that if a man believes in Christ a wall shall be built around his soul, so that the things out of which souls make sin cannot come to him. The Master knew the world too well for that. His own experience on the hill of His temptation was still... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Mark 16:15-16

DISCOURSE: 1461ON THE GOSPEL MESSAGEMark 16:15-16. He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature: he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.IT is to be lamented that an unhappy prejudice subsists in the Christian world against the peculiar and most essential doctrines of our holy religion; and that, while ministers defend with zeal and ability the outworks of Christianity, they are at little pains to lead... read more
