Markus 16:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 16:19

So then, after the Lord
The Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions add, "Jesus"; and the Ethiopic version reads, "our Lord, the Lord Jesus"; and both Syriac and Persic read, "our Lord"; which is common in these versions, where the word "Lord" is used:

had spoken unto them;
the disciples, the above words, which commissioned them where to go, what to do, and what to say; and what should follow them, for the confirmation of their mission and doctrine:

he was received up into heaven;
in a cloud, angels attending him, and devils led captive by him, and with a welcome into his Father's presence:

and sat on the right hand of God;
the Ethiopic version adds, "his own Father", and which is an evidence of his having done his work, and that to full satisfaction; and is an honour never conferred on angels, or any mere creature; and is a peculiar dignity conferred on the human nature of Christ, in union with his divine person; and here he will remain, till his second coming.

Markus 16:19 In-Context

17 En degenen, die geloofd zullen hebben, zullen deze tekenen volgen: in Mijn Naam zullen zij duivelen uitwerpen; met nieuwe tongen zullen zij spreken,

18 Slangen zullen zij opnemen; en al is het, dat zij iets dodelijks zullen drinken, dat zal hun niet schaden; op kranken zullen zij de handen leggen, en zij zullen gezond worden.

19 De Heere dan, nadat Hij tot hen gesproken had, is opgenomen in den hemel, en is gezeten aan de rechter hand Gods.

20 En zij, uitgegaan zijnde, predikten overal, en de Heere wrocht mede, en bevestigde het Woord door tekenen, die daarop volgden. Amen.
