1 | Empty tomb, but witnesses didn't tell? | Mark 16:8 | Just Read Mark | 82181 | ||
Thank you, Gracefull. The transformation that comes with Pentecost is truely amazing, and their daring is very clear testimony to the risen Christ. I am still puzzled by the ending of Mark, however. It seems that verse 8 leaves us at a very low point, and the verses that follow are later additions: Christians trying to make sense of the confused lack of closure in verse 8. I love the story of Mary M. telling the disciples, then Peter and John racing to examine the empty tomb. What a dramatic image of investigation, searching, and witness. (John 20). But, in the short ending of Mark, the women fail to obey the angel, fail to tell the disciples. Even in the longer ending, the disciples do not believe Mary's witness --- there is no race for the tomb here. Why would Mark end the way it does? |

I do see your point here. That is a good one for my Bible study. Probably because I see the entire chapter as accurate and do not question the 'break' because I accept the scriptures as 'Holy Spirit protected'. Does that make sense? But in light of the arguments over additions, I understand your question. Purhaps someone else here on the forum can address this. Sorry I jumped in here missing your initial point. God bless |
