Marcus 16:9-20
Een ander vers welke wordt aangehaald: Marcus 16:15-20
Marcus 16:15 En Hij zeide tot hen: Gaat heen in de gehele wereld, verkondigt het evangelie aan de ganse schepping.
Marcus 16:16 Wie gelooft en zich laat dopen, zal behouden worden,
maar wie niet gelooft, zal veroordeeld worden.
Marcus 16:17 Als tekenen zullen deze dingen de gelovigen volgen: in mijn naam zullen zij boze geesten uitdrijven, in nieuw tongen zullen zij spreken,
Marcus 16:18 slangen zullen zij opnemen, en zelfs indien zij iets dodelijks drinken, zal het hun geen schade doen; op zieken zullen zij de handen leggen en zij zullen genezen worden.
Marcus 16:19 De Here [Jezus] dan werd, nadat Hij tot hen gesproken had, opgenomen in de hemel en heeft Zich gezet aan de rechterhand Gods.
Marcus 16:20 Doch zij gingen heen en predikten overal, terwijl de Here medewerkte en het woord bevestigde door de tekenen, die erop volgden.
Met Marcus 16:9-20 is hetzelfde aan de hand als met Mattheus 28:19.
Hierboven zien we alleen 16:15 t/m 16:20, maar verzen 16:9-20 blijken een latere toevoeging te zijn geweest.
Mark 16:9-20
Mark 16:9-20 has been called a later addition to the Gospel of Mark by most New Testament scholars in the past century. The main reason for doubting the authenticity of the ending is that it does not appear in some of the oldest existing witnesses, and it is reported to be absent from many others in ancient times by early writers of the Church. Moreover, the ending has some stylistic features which also suggest that it came from another hand. The Gospel is obviously incomplete without these verses, and so most scholars believe that the final leaf of the original manuscript was lost, and that the ending which appears in English versions today (verses 9-20) was supplied during the second century. Below are some excerpts from various scholarly sources that conclude that the verses are a later addition.
The Westminster Study Edition of the Holy Bible (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1948).
vv. 9-20. This section is a later addition; the original ending of Mark appears to have been lost. The best and oldest manuscripts of Mark end with ch. 16:8. Two endings were added very early. The shorter reads: "But they reported briefly to those with Peter all that had been commanded them. And afterward Jesus himself sent out through them from the East even to the West the sacred and incorruptible message of eternal salvation." The longer addition appears in English Bibles; its origin is uncertain; a medieval source ascribes it to an elder Ariston (Aristion), perhaps the man whom Papias (c. A.D. 135) calls a disciple of the Lord. It is drawn for the most part from Luke, chapter 24, and from John, chapter 20; there is a possibility that verse 15 may come from Matthew 28:18-20. It is believed that the original ending must have contained an account of the risen Christ's meeting with the disciples in Galilee (chs. 14:28; 16:7).

16:9-20 The Ending(s) of Mark. Four endings of the Gospel according to Mark are current in the manuscripts. (1) The last twelve verses of the commonly received text of Mark are absent from the two oldest Greek manuscripts (א and B), from the Old Latin codex Bobiensis (it k), the Sinaitic Syriac manuscript, about one hundred Armenian manuscripts, and the two oldest Georgian manuscripts (written A.D. 897 and A.D. 913). Clement of Alexandria and Origen show no knowledge of the existence of these verses; furthermore Eusebius and Jerome attest that the passage was absent from almost all Greek copies of Mark known to them. The original form of the Eusebian sections (drawn up by Ammonius) makes no provision for numbering sections of the text after 16:8.
