Mark 16 Scofield
Read Mark 16 · Matthew Henry on Mark 16
16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
“And very early”
16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
“Ye seek”
Jesus ye seek -- the Nazarene, the crucified; He arose! He is not here! The tone is of triumph. Cf. Ps 2:4.
16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
“Now when”
The passage from Mark 16:9 to the end is not found in the two most ancient manuscripts, the Sinaitic and Vatican, and others have it with partial omissions and variations. But it is quoted by Irenaeus and Hippolytus in the second or third century.
“appeared”
(See Scofield "Matt 28:9")
16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
“eleven”
A collective term, equivalent to "The Sanhedrin," "The Commons," not necessarily implying that eleven persons were present. See Luke 24:33; 1 Cor 15:5; Matt 28:16 where "eleven disciples" implies a definite number of persons.
16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
“saved”
(See Scofield "Rom 1:16")
