In 1958, scholar Morton Smith discovered a letter in the Mar Saba monastery written by Clement of Alexandria. The letter claims that the Gospel of Mark originally contained secret teachings and temple rituals from Jesus that were later removed.This letter (often called the Mar Saba Letter or Secret Mark) suggests that Mark wrote a “more spiritual gospel” for those being perfected — one that included hierophantic (temple) teachings from the risen Christ during His 40-day ministry.In this episode, we explore:What the Mar Saba Letter actually saysWhy both secular scholars and many Christians rejected itHow it provides a framework for understanding other early Christian texts about the risen Lord's ministryWhy this matters for understanding temple rituals and the post-resurrection appearances of JesusCould the Mar Saba Letter be the key that unlocks the “missing ministry” of the risen Christ?#MarSabaLetter #SecretMark #TempleRituals #BookOfMormonChapter Markers / Timestamps (Very Accurate)00:00 - Intro: Secrets of Mark & the Missing 40-Day Ministry02:41 - What Is the Mar Saba Letter?04:39 - Why Manuscripts Became Necessary After the Apostles07:25 - Morton Smith Discovers the Letter at Mar Saba Monastery (1940s & 1960)09:43 - The Academic World's Hostile Reaction12:11 - What the Letter Actually Claims About the Gospel of Mark16:11 - “Hierophantic Teachings” — Secret Temple Rituals Removed from Mark21:26 - Why Both Scholars and Christians Rejected the Letter24:59 - Defense Against Forgery Claims (10 Things Morton Smith Would've Needed)29:39 - Could This Have Been Written by a Heretic?31:48 - The Letter Provides an “Alibi” for Other Apocryphal Texts35:56 - Joseph Smith Didn't Just Restore Texts — He Restored the Rituals41:35 - Final Question: What Specifically Should We Like About Secret Mark?Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

As we reach the end of Mark's gospel, what will it mean for us moving forward? Who do we say that Jesus is, and what are we going to do about it?

Rev. Nathaniel Lee

The great commission- Before ascending to heaven, Jesus told His disciples to go out and preach the good news of the gospel to the world. Even though Jesus is not with us in the flesh now, He is with us through the Holy Spirit just as He was "working with them" after His ascension.

An alternate ending?- Some scholars argue that the last eleven verses in the book of Mark were added later and should not be considered part of the original text. What does the evidence tell us? Does it all add up to a "fake" ending of Mark's gospel?

In 1988, Mark Dorrity went for a run on a 35-degree day in regional New South Wales. He was leading the race when severe heat stroke caused his body to shut down.Mark spent 70 days unconscious in intensive care. He lost most of the muscle in his body, underwent a high-level leg amputation and was given little certainty about what life after hospital could look like.But this is not simply a story about survival.In this episode of ListenABLE, Mark joins Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin to share how he rebuilt his life from the ground up. From learning to stand again, returning to full-time work and confronting inaccessible public spaces, to retraining his brain through Toastmasters decades later, Mark's story is a powerful lesson in resilience, neuroplasticity and choosing to keep moving forward.Mark also reflects on how far disability access and inclusion have come in Australia since the late 1980s, why accessible parking matters far more than people realise, and why he refuses to live with regret.What happened when Mark collapsed from severe heat stroke during an eight-kilometre raceWaking up in intensive care 70 days laterThe moment Mark learned his leg had been amputatedRebuilding strength after losing most of his muscle massReturning to work after a life-changing injuryLiving with a high-level amputation and why a prosthesis was not sustainable for MarkHow disability access and inclusion have changed since the late 1980sThe reality behind accessible parking and public spacesNeuroplasticity, Toastmasters and retraining the brain later in lifeWhy resilience is not about avoiding difficulty, but choosing to keep showing up00:00 The moment Mark's life changed01:31 A race, extreme heat and collapsing near the finish line04:35 Waking up 70 days later in intensive care07:14 The decision to amputate or let Mark die09:48 Accepting a new reality immediately11:10 Learning how to live again after intensive care13:06 Seeing his story on the front page of the newspaper14:55 Why a wheelchair was not practical for Mark16:39 The first time using a walking frame in public18:11 Where Mark's resilience came from19:02 What disability access was like in Australia in the late 1980s21:42 How Mark views disability today24:59 Prosthetics, pain and adapting to life without one27:05 Returning to full-time work27:46 Cognitive recovery, speech and Toastmasters30:20 Neuroplasticity and retraining the brain32:08 Seeing his body after amputation33:25 Would Mark warn himself before the race?34:50 Mark's message on risk, resilience and living fullyMark Dorrity, heat stroke survivor, amputation recovery, high-level amputation, disability podcast Australia, disability inclusion, accessibility Australia, neuroplasticity, resilience story, life after amputation, Dylan Alcott podcast, ListenABLE podcast, disability advocacy, rehabilitation journey, Toastmasters recovery

Did the Gospel of Mark originally end at Mark 16:8, or do Mark 16:9–20 belong in Scripture? For nearly two centuries, modern textual critics have questioned the authenticity of the final twelve verses of Mark, leading many modern Bible translations to bracket the passage or include editorial notes suggesting it may not have been part of the original text.In this episode, Brandon Briscoe is joined by Dr. Jim Alter, pastor of Grace Baptist Church and founder of Purified Seven Times, to examine one of the most debated passages in the New Testament.Rather than focusing solely on competing manuscripts, this episode explores what is ultimately at stake in the debate over Mark 16:9–20. Brandon Briscoe and Dr. Jim Alter discuss how the doctrine of preservation shapes a believer's approach to Scripture, examine the historical testimony of the Church Fathers, and evaluate the claims surrounding Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. They also consider the doctrinal significance of the longer ending of Mark—including Christ's post-resurrection appearances, the Great Commission, the apostolic sign gifts, the Ascension, and the confidence Christians can have that God has faithfully preserved His Word.Whether you're interested in biblical preservation, textual criticism, church history, or the reliability of Scripture, this conversation offers a detailed look at one of Christianity's most significant textual debates.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

In this episode Sharon Doran explores Mark 16: the resurrection appearances, why Jesus first appears to Mary Magdalene, and the powerful reversal of sin and curse in Christ. She highlights Mary as the apostle to the apostles, the disciples' unbelief, the signs accompanying believers, and the meaning of the ascension and the Eucharist as 'free bread' for the journey. Sharon connects Genesis and the fall to the new creation in Christ, emphasizes the restoration of equality between men and women, and encourages listeners to receive Christs rest and mission to share the gospel.

Program for 06/25/26 Covenant Community Church: Mark 16

mark 16; luke 1

We have reached the end of the Gospel of Mark. It is a strange ending. No triumphant march. No ribbon tied neatly on the story. Just three women, an empty tomb, and a Gospel that closes with trembling and silence.

Pastor Julius unpacks Mark 16:1-8 which is the last sermon in our series going through the gospel of Mark. 

Have you ever been so disappointed — for so long — that you just stopped hoping anything good could happen next? That's exactly where these women are as they make their way to the tomb in the early morning hours of Mark chapter 16. They aren't coming with expectation. They're coming with burial spices. They have planned for a burial. And what they find instead is so shocking, so completely outside of anything they were prepared for, that they flee trembling and bewildered — which is, honestly, one of the most human responses in all of Scripture. We're in the final eight verses of Mark today, and I want us to really slow down here, because there is so much tucked into this ending. First — did you notice that the angel specifically calls out Peter by name? Go tell the disciples, including Peter. Remember where we last left Peter — weeping bitterly after his complete and utter failure. And yet the angel makes sure he's included by name. Because that was not the end of Peter's story. And it is never the end of ours either. We also talk about the way Mark ends — abruptly, with the women frightened and silent — and what that might mean for us. Whether the manuscript was lost or Mark intended this cliffhanger, I think there's something really beautiful about being left in the tension. Because that's where most of us actually live, isn't it? In the unresolved. In the not-yet-fully-clear. And what the resurrection says into that tension is: hope can begin before you have full clarity. Here's what we know is true from this passage and from the whole arc of the Gospel: death is defeated. Creation is being renewed. God brings life out of dead places — in history, and in your story too. The same God who said to Abraham is anything impossible for God? is the same God who rolled away that stone. Which means there is no relationship, no season, no place in your soul that is too far gone for Him. So as we close out the entire Gospel of Mark together, I want to leave you with this: is there a place in your life where disappointment has made hope feel foolish? Could you just tell God about that today — and then claim hope again anyway? What Does It Mean for Me? Questions to Consider: Is there a place in your life where disappointment has made hope difficult? Can you stay open to hope even when life is unresolved? What would change if I believed even more today that the resurrection was true? How would I live my life if I knew that nothing is impossible for God? Want More? Read along: Mark 16:1–8 Old Testament connection: Isaiah 43:19 — "See, I am doing a new thing" Psalm 30:5 — "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" Not What I Signed Up For For unresolved seasons and places in your story where you're still waiting for God to show up.

In the most dramatic fashion, Jesus completed the work of redemption by rising from the grave, pursuing his disciples and demonstrating that he is the Messiah who always keeps his promises.

Mark's Abrupt Ending...and the Rest of the Story | Mark 16:1-8 | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

This is a sermon preached by Jeff Beisel at Maranatha Community Church Pickerington on 5/31/2026.

This Sunday's message will be very different than what we are used to. Our steady diet of preaching has been (and will continue to be) exposition through books of Scripture, verse by verse. However, along our journey through Mark's gospel, we occasionally noticed missing verse numbers (7:16; 9:44), and when we finished Mark 16:1-8, the next thing we saw was brackets around Mark 16:9-20 and a study note that says something to the effect of "the earliest manuscripts do not contain these verses." The easiest thing to do would be to simply make that statement, move on, and start preaching through another book. But this section offers a unique opportunity. Sunday, we will examine how God has reliably preserved His word down through time to us and look at the actual evidence for and against Mark's longer ending. Rather than just giving you my opinion about Mark's ending, I will walk you through the process of examining the evidence, which is not hidden or out of reach for Christians. With all the objections to textual corruption, books added to or taken out of the Bible, and the idea that we Christians depend on unknown scholars to tell us what is in our scriptures, I have three goals for Sunday. I hope to show you how the New Testament documents have been reliably passed down to us, let you see and examine the evidence concerning Mark's ending, and use this opportunity to address how we know the 66 books of our Bibles are the only God-inspired books. Accomplishing those three goals in under 40 minutes will be as miraculous as parting the Red Sea, so we certainly can't say everything that needs to be said, but in the end, we will see that God has preserved His Word in the Bible that you carry. The Bible you hold in your hand is God's Word, sufficient and God-breathed, so that you would know Him through the gospel of Jesus. I. Has God Reliably Preserved His Word In the NT? II. Examining Mark's Ending: Are we depending on "scholars" we don't know? III. How do we know the books in our Bibles are the only inspired books?

14 At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again.Novissime recumbentibus illis undecim apparuit : et exprobravit incredulitatem eorum et duritiam cordis : quia iis, qui viderant eum resurrexisse, non crediderunt. 15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Et dixit eis : Euntes in mundum universum praedicate Evangelium omni creaturae. 16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit : qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.Signa autem eos qui crediderint, haec sequentur : in nomine meo daemonia ejicient : linguis loquentur novis : 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.serpentes tollent : et si mortiferum quid biberint, non eis nocebit : super aegros manus imponent, et bene habebunt. 19 And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God.Et Dominus quidem Jesus postquam locutus est eis, assumptus est in caelum, et sedet a dextris Dei. 20 But they going forth preached everywhere: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.Illi autem profecti praedicaverunt ubique, Domino cooperante, et sermonem confirmante, sequentibus signis.Instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ to His Disciples: He sends them into the whole world to preach the Gospel.

This Sunday, we providentially come to Mark 16:1-8 on Mother's Day. This passage highlights the women devoted to Jesus who witnessed His death and burial and now discover the empty tomb—the greatest event in human history. After watching their Lord crucified and buried, these devoted women go to the tomb, undoubtedly in grief and hopelessness. Yet, their love for Jesus spurs them to honor Him in His burial. Their purpose is to anoint His body, so we know they did not expect a resurrection. The women even find themselves unable to do this smallest of acts. They have no one to move the stone and let them in the tomb. When they arrive at the tomb, however, they receive the good news that Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, has risen. Then the young man (who Matthew says is an angel) tells the women to declare this news to the “disciples and Peter.” Peter is singled out because the last time we saw him, he was weeping and broken, having denied Jesus three times. Now, it is clear that Jesus has not written Peter off despite his betrayal. This Mother's Day, Mark 16:1-8 shows us how the resurrection speaks directly into our lives, especially when hope feels lost, fear overwhelms, or failure looms large. Because Christ is risen, we can go to Jesus, trust His word fully, and follow Him even in our weakness and failure. I. When all hope is lost—go to Jesus anyway (v. 1-3). II. When the gospel is proclaimed—trust Jesus' word (v. 4-6). III. When fear and failure overwhelm—follow Jesus anyway (v. 7-8).

On our last episode, we read Mark's account of the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ. He died a gruesome death accompanied by miraculous signs, as Mark notes that the sky turned to darkness at midday and temple curtain was torn in two. While we know that this was not the end, we should also remember that the disciples assumed that it was. As you hear the account of the resurrection, imagine the joy and awestruck wonder that the early disciples must have experienced. Finally, our reading includes a passage that most likely is not original to Mark, and is likely to be a summary recorded by someone in later years about happenings included in other gospels and the book of Acts. There's nothing substantively different here, unless you try to interpret the text outside of other Scripture. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today’s Bible Verse: “Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb. They asked each other, who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” — Mark 16:2 Mark 16:2 captures a quiet but powerful moment—women walking toward the tomb at sunrise, carrying grief and uncertainty. They weren’t expecting a miracle; they were simply showing up in faithfulness, honoring Jesus even in loss. Want to listen without ads?

In this episode of the Anything's Possible Podcast, Pastor Kevin Queen, Pastor Josh Reed, and New Testament scholars Dr. Adam Winn and Dr. Jim Miller unpack the surprising ending of Mark 16. As they explore the final verses of Mark's Gospel, the conversation tackles one of the most debated questions in Scripture: Did Mark really end at verse eight? And if so, what does that mean for our faith, our confidence in the Bible, and our response to Jesus? This episode explores the tension between belief and obedience, information and transformation, fear and faith, and why the “unfinished” ending of Mark might actually be an invitation for you to continue the story. Let's keep the conversation going:What stood out to you from Mark 16? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Bring your questions to one of our locations, Everyone's Welcome!

Have you ever felt like you've messed up too much… gone too far… or disqualified yourself from God's grace? Easter tells a different story. Pastor Kevin Queen unpacks Mark 16 where we don't just see an empty tomb; we see a personal invitation! When the angel says, “Go tell the disciples and Peter,” it's a powerful reminder that even the one who failed Jesus wasn't written off. He was called by name. This message walks through the historical evidence of the resurrection and what it means for your life today. Because if Jesus really rose from the dead, then failure isn't final, shame doesn't get the last word, and your story isn't over.
