</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">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 </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
in doubt.</span></span></font></p>

- 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 </span></span><u><span style="">the
very last</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
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' </span></span><u><span style="">confirmed</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
ministry! Think how much more Satan did. And the latter certainly did
not wish Jesus' disciples to continue in the </span></span><u><span style="">confirmed

type of ministry that their Master had demonstrated!</span></span></font></p>

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

did with the Ephesian believers in Acts 19:1-6. </span></span></font>
