ISB ~ Mark 16 v9 - 20

Ancient manuscripts of Mark’s Gospel differ in their conclusions after 16:8. Two important fourth-century manuscripts simply end at 16:8. Other versions of Mark include a “short ending” of two sentences after 16:8. The majority of Marcan manuscripts, however, include this “longer ending” (16:9-20). According to the Council of Trent, the canon of Scripture corresponds to everything included in the Latin Vulgate edition (Sess. 4, Dec. 1). This official translation includes 16:9-20 as part of the inspired Gospel.
