People's Commentary (NT)
Mark 16:9
Now when [Jesus] was risen. The remainder of the chapter is not
found in the Vatican or Siniatic Greek MSS, but is found in the
Alexandrian. These are the three oldest and most reliable MSS. Some
hold these verses to be a later addition, but as they are found in all
the most ancient versions they must have been a part of Mark's Gospel
when the first century. Schaff, Plumptree, Olshausen, Lochman and
others regard them genuine, while other critics consider them doubtful.
A circumstance in their favor is that the Vatican MS has a vacant space
for them. It seems probable that in an early copy, therefore, they were
omitted for some cause by a copyist who left space for them, but did
not afterwards fill it, and that the Siniatic MS was made from the
mutilated copy. It is clear that Mark 16:8 was not designed to
conclude Mark's narrative.
He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. This appearance is described
more fully in John 20:11-17.
