1 | later versions contain this paragraph? | Mark 16:20 | TiminNorthfield | 240549 | ||
Hello Doc. Thank you for taking the time to write to me, but you have not answered my specific question about the NASB's addition of the very last paragraph of the chapter, and latter part of verse 20. It is in italics in the NASB and within brackets. Here is the text: [And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.] The sidenote only says that "A few later mss. and versions contain this paragraph". My question is, which and how many particular mss. have this paragraph? Where did the NASB editors find it and why did they add it? You do not find it in the translations of the ESV, KJV or NIV, to name a few. | ||||||

Tim, Doc has indeed pointed you to one of the key places to begin a study of your question. However, just to be blunt, if you are not trained to understand those sources or have somebody able to help you work through them they won't practically pay off. You are going to basically be told that aleph and beta two fourth century manuscripts omit this section of Mark. Many more manuscripts contain it, the problem is that Aleph and Beta are perhaps the most reliable and of the most early of the sources we have available. However, any modern commentary on Mark that is worth its salt must deal with the question you are asking and likely deal with it in great detail. Therefore I would suggest you seek your answer in commentaries. They are far from inerrant but you will get to see the discussion. R.T. France's commentary on Mark is usually agreed to be at least among the finest of the commentaries on Mark recently published. So I would point you there to seek an answer. It will take a little work on your part but any answer given on this forum will be reductionistic out of necessity. Good luck to you. In Christ, Beja |
