Mark 16
1. An Angel declares the resurrection of Jesus to three women.
9. Jesus himself appears to Mary Magdalene;
12. to two going into the country;
14. then to the apostles;
15. whom he sends forth to preach the gospel;
19. and ascends into heaven.














And He said to them
This phrase introduces the speaker, Jesus Christ, who is addressing His disciples. The context is post-resurrection, where Jesus is imparting final instructions. The Greek word for "said" is "εἶπεν" (eipen), indicating a definitive and authoritative statement. This moment is significant as it marks the commissioning of the disciples, emphasizing the authority of Christ in His resurrected state.

Go into all the world
The command "Go" is translated from the Greek "πορευθέντες" (poreuthentes), which implies an active, ongoing journey. This is not a passive suggestion but a directive to move with purpose. "All the world" expands the scope of the mission beyond the Jewish people to include Gentiles, signifying the universal nature of the Gospel. Historically, this was a radical shift, as the early church was primarily Jewish. The phrase underscores the global mission of Christianity, breaking cultural and geographical barriers.

and preach the gospel
The word "preach" comes from the Greek "κηρύξατε" (kēryxate), meaning to proclaim or herald. This is not merely sharing information but delivering a message with authority and urgency. "The gospel" refers to the "εὐαγγέλιον" (euangelion), the good news of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection for the salvation of mankind. This task is central to the Christian mission, highlighting the transformative power of the Gospel message.

to every creature
The phrase "every creature" is translated from "πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει" (pasē tē ktisei), indicating all of creation. This suggests that the Gospel is not limited to humans but has cosmic implications, affecting all of creation. Theologically, this reflects the belief that Christ's redemptive work impacts the entire universe, restoring the broken relationship between God and His creation. Historically, this was a call to inclusivity, challenging the early church to reach beyond ethnic and social boundaries.

(15) And he said unto them.--See Notes on Matthew 28:16-20. There is much, however, that is so distinct in St. Mark's report as to suggest the thought that it may have referred to a different occasion.

Preach the gospel to every creature.--Better, to the whole creation. The universality of the word is, of course, limited by the nature of the case.

Verses 15, 16. - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation (πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει). He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Here is a considerable interval of time, not noticed in any way by the evangelist. And he saith unto them; not on the day of his resurrection. It would seem that this charge was delivered to them in Galilee, and that it is the same as that recorded in St. Matthew (Matthew 28:19), which was again repeated immediately before his ascension from Bethany. Go ye into all the world; not into Judaea only, but everywhere. This command has expanded with the discovery in later times of new portions of the inhabited earth; and must ever be coextensive with geographic discovery. Preach the gospel to the whole creation; that is, "among all nations." Man is the noblest work of God. All the creation is gathered up in him, created after the image of the Creator. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. These words are very important. The first clause opposes the notion that faith alone is sufficient for salvation, without those works which are the fruit of faith. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; that is, he that believeth, and as an evidence of his faith accepts Christ's baptism, and fulfils the promises and vows which he then took upon himself, working out his own salvation with fear and trembling, shall be saved. But he that disbelieveth shall be condemned (ὁ δὲ ἀπιστήσας κατακριθήσεται,). The condemnation anticipates the doom which will be incurred by continual unbelief.
