Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Mark 16:15-16

For more than a century, Spurgeon's sermons have been consistently recognized, and their usefulness and impact have continued to the present day, even in the outdated English of the author's own time. You may ask, "Why then should expositions already so successful and of such stature and proven usefulness require adaptation, revision, rewrite or even editing? The answer is obvious. To increase its usefulness to today's reader, the language in which it was originally written needs updating.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

Chapter 16And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome [so we get these two Marys, who was, of course, standing afar off watching the crucifixion with them] had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 16:1-20

Mark 16:1-8 . When the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene came very early in the morning to the sepulchre. See on Luke 8:2. All the circumstances mentioned in these eight verses claim particular notice. The women who came in two companies were five or six in number. Their errand was to do the decencies performed to illustrious persons. Their sole difficulty on the road was the rolling away of the stone. This, to their surprize, they found removed. They knew nothing of the guards watching on... read more

Mark 16:14-20And upbraided them with their unbelief. The departing SaviourIt cannot be a matter of indifference to the pious to know in what manner the blessed Saviour took final leave of His earthly Church. If we really love Him it cannot but interest us to understand how He conducted Himself, how He looked, and what were the last things He said and did. Upon these points the Scriptures are not silent; and the whole account is quite in keeping with what we would naturally expect.I. Our... read more

Mark 16:15Go ye into an the world and preach the gospel.Christ’s commission to His apostlesI. The work. Preaching the gospel.1. Speaking. Much of the real and useful work of life is wrought by words. They are the tools of almost every worker in some department of his toil. In preaching the gospel they are the chief agency.2. The gospel. Gospel, in the lips of Jesus, represented facts in the eternal past and in the eternal future-promises, predictions, His own history, dispensations of the grace... read more

Mark 16:16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.On that belief which is necessary to baptismThe text is an abridgement of our Lord’s last instructions to His apostles before His ascension. Other parts of the same discourse are to be found in Matthew 28:18-20; John 20:21. See also Luke 24:45. By comparing these passages with this, it will appear that by “believing and being baptized,” St. Mark plainly means, “believing, repenting, and obeying the gospel”-three things which cannot be... read more

Mark 16:17And these signs shall follow.New tonguesNew, because strange to the natural man, because acquired not by nature, but by grace. As the world of old was divided by the confusion of tongues, so by the renewing of our nature, and by the oneness of our speech, shall all be united into one people, having one heart and one seal. This new tongue must be given as the special gift of God to His children, for the tongue can no man tame of himself. This new tongue we have if-(1) in the midst of... read more

Mark 16:18They shall take up serpents.The privileges of believersIt is to men who believe, through their belief, that privileges such as these are to be given. The essence and ground of the promised power is faith. That old word, Faith! That old thing, Faith! How men have stumbled over its definition, and bewildered and ensnarled themselves and those who heard them! God forbid that I should bewilder you today. I want to be as clear and simple as I can; and though I would be far from disparaging... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 16:15

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Ver. 15. Preach the gospel ] Eckius hence blasphemously inferreth that Christ did never command his apostles to write, but to preach only. To evey creature ] ThatIsaiah 1:1-31; Isaiah 1:1-31 . To man, who is a little world, an epitome of every creature. 2. To the Gentiles also, who had been denied this favour of the gospel, as if they had been none of God’s creatures. read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 16:16

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Ver. 16. He that belleveth ] That which you preach. And is baptized ] As content to give up himself to Christ, and to receive his mark, making a public profession of the faith. He that believeth not ] He saith not, or is not baptized; for it is not the lack, but the contempt of baptism that damneth. Unbelief is a bloody sin, Hebrews 10:26 ; a heavy sin, John 3:19 ; a most ungrateful, inexcusable... read more
