Mark 16:9–20 IV — The So-Called Shorter Ending: Rival Conclusion or Secondary Summary?

A compact “shorter ending” says the women reported to Peter and that Jesus sent the proclamation from east to west. Most Greek witnesses that contain it also continue with verses 9–20.

Verification
Passage, principal readings, and stated editorial comparison checked against Scrivener’s received Greek text and the SBLGNT apparatus; exhaustive manuscript collation remains open. Metzger commentary entries were matched by exact passage where present; ECM/CBGM rationale is passage-specific only when an official editorial explanation is cited. Ledger rows are identified as UBS6 / intended NA29 data but retain their row-level verification caveats pending direct collation. Supplied-source audit completed in Core 0.6.3.

Mark 16:9–20 V — The Freer Logion: Why One Expansion Does Not Discredit the Received Ending

Codex Washingtonianus inserts a unique dialogue after verse 14, often called the Freer Logion. The expansion is secondary evidence within a manuscript that otherwise transmits the longer ending.

Mark 16:9–20 II — The Fathers and Ancient Versions before the Great Uncials

Irenaeus quotes Mark 16:19 in the second century, and the ending circulated widely in early versions. Possible allusions in Papias and Justin must be distinguished from direct citation.

Mark 14:30, 68, 72 — Once or Twice? The Cock-Crowing Text and Peter’s Denial
