Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 16]. 16:16 {And is baptized} (\kai baptistheis\). The omission of {baptized} with "disbelieveth" would seem to show that Jesus does not make baptism essential to salvation. Condemnation rests on disbelief, not on baptism. So salvation rests on belief. Baptism is merely the picture of the new life not the means of securing it. So serious a sacramental doctrine would need stronger support anyhow than this disputed portion of Mark. 16:17 {They shall speak with new tongues} (\gl•ssais lal•sousin [kainais]\). Westcott and Hort put \kainais\ (new) in the margin. Casting out demons we have seen in the ministry of Jesus. Speaking with tongues comes in the apostolic era (Ac 2:3f.; 10:46; 19:6; 1Co 12:28; 14). 16:18 {They shall take up serpents} (\opheis arousin\). Jesus had said something like this in Lu 10:19 and Paul was unharmed by the serpent in Malta (Ac 28:3f.). {If they drink any deadly thing} (\k'an thanasimon ti pi•sin\). This is the only N.T. instance of the old Greek word \thanasimos\ (deadly). Jas 3:8 has \thanat•phoros\, deathbearing. Bruce considers these verses in Mark "a great lapse from the high level of Matthew's version of the farewell words of Jesus" and holds that "taking up venomous serpents and drinking deadly poison seem to introduce us into the twilight of apocryphal story." The great doubt concerning the genuineness of these verses (fairly conclusive proof against them in my opinion) renders it unwise to take these verses as the foundation for doctrine or practice unless supported by other and genuine portions of the N.T. 16:19 {Was received up into heaven} (\anel•mpth• eis ton ouranon\). First aorist passive indicative. Luke gives the fact of the Ascension twice in Gospel (Lu 24:50f.) and Ac 1:9-11. The Ascension in Mark took place after Jesus spoke to the disciples, not in Galilee (16:15-18), nor on the first or second Sunday evening in Jerusalem. We should not know when it took place nor where but for Luke who locates it on Olivet (Lu 24:50) at the close of the forty days (Ac 1:3) and so after the return from Galilee (Mt 28:16). {Sat down at the right hand of God} (\ekathisen ek dexi•n tou theou\). Swete notes that the author "passes beyond the field of history into that of theology," an early and most cherished belief (Ac 7:55f.; Ro 8:34; Eph 1:20; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1Pe 3:22; Re 3:21). http://www.ccel.org/r/robertson_at/wordpictures/htm/MR16.RWP.html (6 of 7) [28/08/2004 09:04:46 a.m.]
Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 16]. 16:20 {The Lord working with them} (\tou kuriou sunergountos\). Genitive absolute. This participle not in Gospels elsewhere nor is \bebaiountos\ nor the compound \epakolouthount•n\, all in Paul's Epistles. \Pantacho–\ once in Luke. Westcott and Hort give the alternative ending found in L: "And they announced briefly to Peter and those around him all the things enjoined. And after these things Jesus himself also sent forth through them from the east even unto the west the holy and incorruptible proclamation of the eternal salvation."
