Bible Question:
Wait a minute. Of the 4000 plus grk manuscripts of which 600 plus contain Mark, and only 2 of those DO NOT contain Mk 16:9-20, you believe it's not original? Wow, what lengths man will go to when he wants to prove healing and tongues has passed away. Question. Would those verses have ever been called into question if they had excluded "they shall speak with tongues and lay hands on the sick"? |
Bible Answer: "...not originally part of Mark's gospel." "Mark 16:9-20. The external evidence strongly suggests these verses were not originally part of Mark's gospel. While the majority of Gr. manuscripts contain these verses, the earliest and most reliable do not. ... Further, some that include the passage note that it was missing from older Gr. manuscripts, while others have scribal marks indicating the passage was considered spurious. The fourth-century church fathers Eusebius and Jerome noted that almost all Gr. manuscripts available to them lacked vv. 9-20. "The internal evidence from this passage also weighs heavily against Mark's authorship. ... "While for the most part summarizing truths taught elsewhere in Scripture, vv. 9-20 should always be compared with the rest of Scripture, and no doctrines should be formulated based solely on them. ...(The MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing)." |
