Subject: The last twelve verses of Mark 16, (9-20 |
Bible Note: The last twelve verses of Mark 16, (9-20) were in the translations of the New Testament two hundred years before the Greek manuscripts Aleph and B (Vaticanus) were made. This shows that these verses were in the Greek manuscript/s used in those translations. The Old Syric translation was in use within the lifetime of many early Christians who knew and heard John the apostle personally. Verses 9-20 are in this version. It also appeared in the Old Italian version, a very honored and respected translation. It reaches back to the early days of the church; and it too contains the last twelve verses of Mark. Also, there are the Ethiopian, Egyptian, Sahidic and Coptic translations that appeared not long after the end of the first century; each having these verses. The evidence is overwhelming in favor of the verses. |
