Bible Note: Greetings EdB! Since there are four possible endings, it certainly is true that there is an 'air of uncertainty'. :-) Of the four, two seem to be certainly not original. These would be the 'short ending' and the expanded long ending. The two best options, with arguements for each, are the traditional ending and stopping at Mark 16:8. Personally, I would go with stopping at Mark 16:8 simply because I think the evidence is a little stronger - but not much! :-) Either way, I would never base doctrine upon the passage - there simply is too much doubt.
