Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Christianity throughout eighteen centuries has shown itself possessed of the peculiar power of recovering life when apparently almost defunct — a peculiarity entirely absent in every mythology, which, when once dead, never can be restored, but remains forever in the realm of shadows; that Christianity has a phoenix nature, and after every historic death arises anew from the grave; and that along with the resurrection which Christianity has had in our day, has also arisen from the grave the true conception of humanity. (Bishop Martensen.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. |
