Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 16:15

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and reach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.Notice the dramatic shift to singular pronouns in these verses; although addressed to THEM and YE, that is the eleven, there is not a plural word afterward in these verses, this no doubt being designed by the Holy Spirit in order to thwart any application of Mark 16:17-20 to any persons whomsoever except the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:15

Mark 16:15. Go ye into all the world, &c.— "And having, after this, during his abode on earth, frequently shewn himself to his apostles, for the greater confirmation of their faith, and further instruction about the glorious things of his kingdom, (see Acts 1:3.) he, a little before his ascension, gave them their final and standing commission, saying, Go ye forth in my name unto all the nations of the earth, and preach my gospel, as ye have opportunity, to all mankind, whether Jew or... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:16

Mark 16:16. He that believeth, &c.— That is, "He who believeth the gospel, and entereth into a solemn obligation to obey it, and verifies that obligation by a suitable practice in the following part of his life,—shall be saved;" for so the apostle expressly explains it, that the baptism which saves us, is not the putting away the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God.—But he that believeth not, that is, who persists wilfully in infidelity, shall be damned. Dr.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 16:16

16. He that believeth and is baptized—Baptism is here put for the external signature of the inner faith of the heart, just as "confessing with the mouth" is in Romans 10:10; and there also as here this outward manifestation, once mentioned as the proper fruit of faith, is not repeated in what follows (Romans 10:10- :). shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned—These awful issues of the reception or rejection of the Gospel, though often recorded in other connections, are given in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:9-18

1. Three post-resurrection appearances 16:9-18These three accounts stress the importance of disciples believing what Jesus had taught, specifically that He would rise from the dead, with increasing urgency. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:9-20

B. the appearances and ascension of Jesus 16:9-20Many modern interpreters believe Mark ended his Gospel with Mark 16:8. [Note: E.g., Carson and Moo, pp. 187-90.] This seems unlikely to some others since if he did he ended it with an example of disciples too fearful and amazed to bear witness to the resurrected Jesus. Throughout this Gospel we have noted many unique features that appeal to disciples to serve God by bearing bold witness to Jesus, even in spite of persecution and suffering. They... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:14

This event evidently happened on Easter Sunday evening. This is the most severe rebuke that Jesus ever gave His disciples that the Gospels record. They had not only disbelieved the reports of His resurrection, but they had also hardened their hearts against the possibility of His resurrection. The disciples’ own unbelief would help them understand and appreciate the unbelief of many with whom they would share the gospel as eyewitnesses."The Apostles may have been allowed to hear of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:14-18

Jesus’ appearance to the Eleven 16:14-18 (cf. Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-23)The writer said that Jesus appeared to the Eleven on this occasion. However, John qualified that statement by explaining that Thomas was absent (John 20:24). The writer was speaking of the Eleven as a group. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:15

The giving of the Great Commission on this occasion seems to have preceded the giving of it that Matthew recorded (Matthew 28:19-20). The account in the second Gospel stresses the universal scope of the disciples’ responsibility (cf. Mark 14:9). "All" in "all the world" is an especially strong form of the Greek word for "all," namely, hapanta. Every part of the world needs the gospel. read more
