  *VI. 16:9-20 TWO-FOLD FULFILLMENT OF GREAT COMMISSION*


 *A. 16:9-18 RELATIONSHIP OF RESURRECTION, COMMISSION & CONFIRMATION*

*a. 16:9 CHRIST APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE*

A-naSTAS de pr*o*I PR*O*t*e* sabBAtou, ePHAn*e* [5316]

*Now when he was risen early on the first of the week, he appeared*

daiMOni-a.

*first to Mary :Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.*


 *b. 16:10 MARY REPORTS THE RESURRECTION TO THE DISCIPLES*

eKEIn*e* po-reuTHEIsa aP*E*Ggei-len [518] tois met' auTOU ge-noMEnois,

*SHE went and reported to them that had been with him,*

penTHOUsi [3996] kai KLAIou-sin [2799].

*as they mourned and wept.*


 *c. 16:11 DISCIPLES DISBELIEVE THE RESURRECTION REPORT*

*And THEY, when they heard that he was alive,*

kai e-theAth*e* [2300] hup' auT*E*S, *e*PIst*e*-san [569].

meat;*

*and he rebuked their :unbelief and hardness of heart,*

HOti tois the-a-saMEnois auTON e-g*e*-gerMEnon ek neKR*O*N ouk aPIsteu-san.

*because they believed not them that had seen him risen from the dead.*


 *g. 16:15 THE GREAT COMMISSION*

*And he said to them, Go into all the world,*

k*e*RUxa-te [2784] to eu-agGEli-on PAs*e* t*e* KTIsei [2937].

*and preach the gospel to the whole creation.*

[2192].

*they **shall lay hands on **the** sick, and they shall recover.*



 *B. 16:19-20 ASCENSION AND CONFIRMATION*

*a. 16:19 THE ASCENSION OF JESUS*

Ho men oun KUri-os I*e*SOUS, meTA to laL*E*sai auTOIS,

*So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them,*

a-neL*E*MPHth*e* [353] eis ton ou-raNON, kai eKAthi-sen ek de-xi*O*N tou
TheOU.

*was taken up into :heaven, and sat down at the right hand of :God.*


 *b. 16:20 THE CONFIRMATION OF JESUS*

eKEInoi de e-xelTHONtes, eK*E*ru-xan [2784] pan-taCHOU, tou KuRIou
su-nerGOUNtos [4903],

*And THEY went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them,*
 kai ton LOgon be-baiOUNtos [950] diA t*o*n e-pa-ko-louTHOUNt*o*n [1872]+ s*
e*MEI*o*n.

*and confirming the word by the signs that followed.*



 *NOTE**: *The last 12 verses of Mark are considered by the majority of
Textual Critics as the most controversial verses in the entire New
Testament. There are 7 major Greek Manuscript copies of almost all of the
New Testament, and a number omit this portion. There are 1000's of
fragments, and some of these omit them. Out of the scores of New Testament
translations, many translators either omit them, or put them in small print
with notes putting their veracity in jeopardy. The truths however found in
these 12 verses, can be confirmed in other portions of the New Testament.
The truths are *not* in doubt.


 But - God's Bible Numerics as discovered in the 17 hundreds by French
medical doctor Jean Astruc, and others; and confirmed and developed by
Russian Ivan Panin; leaves little doubt that if any portion of the New
Testament could be omitted, these 12 verses would be *the very last* to go.
The Commission of Jesus to disciples here is exactly the type of ministry
Jesus Himself performed in His 3 years of ministry. Look how the Jewish
leaders feared Jesus' *confirmed* ministry! Think how much more Satan did.
And the latter certainly did not wish Jesus' disciples to continue in
the *confirmed
word* type of ministry that their Master had demonstrated!


 Little wonder then that Satan has raised up through Modernistic and
Documentary Hypothesis type of teachers - the unceasing opposition to the
genuineness of Mark 16:9-16.


 Panin wrote a whole book on the last 12 verses of Mark - numerically
examined. More numeric features have been placed here by God 2000 years ago
- than any other portion of the New Testament!


 Notice also the emphasis on baptism in 16:16. *“Who has believed and is
baptized shall be saved.”* Baptism in the early church was always for
believers, following the “Peter Package” of Acts 2:38 - *“Repent, and be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ unto remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift, the do-reA of the Holy Spirit - the artesian well of John
4:10, the rivers experience of John 7:37-39.” Notice* the order: (1)
repentance - (2) baptism - (3) the gift of the Holy Spirit through the
laying on of hands. Is *this order* normally followed today? I think not.
But Peter led it in; Philip followed in John 8 with the Samaritans and the
Ethiopian eunuch; Ananias did with Paul in Acts 9; Peter did with Cornelius
in Acts 10 & 11; Paul did with the Philippian jailer in Acts 16; and Paul
did with the Ephesian believers in Acts 19:1-6.


 Could it be that the weakness of our American church - and lack of power
and holiness - could be because of a failure to practice Acts 2:38 and Mark
16:9-20? J.A.W.
