Besides, it is necessary to believe that these were the same persons to whom MARK ALSO REFERS. FOR HE INFORMS US, THAT THEY WENT AND TOLD THESE THINGS TO THE REST: just as Luke states, … But again, we must remark that MARK STATES THAT “THEY WENT AND TOLD IT UNTO THE RESIDUE: NEITHER BELIEVED THEY THEM:”[22] MARK 16:13. whereas Luke tells us that these others were already saying that the Lord was risen indeed, and had appeared unto Simon. … Moreover, to whom can it fail to be clear that MARK has just omitted certain matters which are fully set forth in Luke’s narrative, … For, after recording how He appeared to them in another form, as they went towards a country-seat, MARK HAS IMMEDIATELY APPENDED THE SENTENCE, “AND THEY WENT AND TOLD IT UNTO THE RESIDUE: NEITHER BELIEVED THEY THEM;” as if men could tell of a person whom they had not recognised, or as if those to whom He had appeared only in another form could know Him! Without doubt, therefore, MARK has simply given us no explanation of the way in which they came to know Him, so as to be able to report the same to others.354-430 A.D. Early Church Fathers – Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers – First Series – Volume 6 – St. Augustin: Sermon on the Mount, Harmony of the Gospels, Homilies on the Gospels – The Harmony of the Gospels. – Book III – Chapter XXV – Of Christ’s Subsequent Manifestations of Himself to the Disciples, and of the Question Whether a Thorough Harmony Can Be Established Between the Different Narratives When the Notices Given by the Four Several Evangelists, as Well as Those Presented by the Apostle Paul and in the Acts of the Apostles, are Compared Together.it was MARK’S INTENTION TO GIVE A STATEMENT, in his own concise fashion, simply on the subject of the said day of the Lord’s resurrection; that is to say, that first day of the week on which Mary and the other women who were along with her saw Him after daybreak, on which also Peter beheld Him, on which likewise He appeared to the two disciples, of whom Cleophas was one, and to whom MARK HIMSELF ALSO SEEMS TO REFER; on which, further, when it was now about night, He showed Himself to the eleven (Thomas, however, being excepted) and those who were with them; and on which, finally, the persons already instanced reported to the disciples the things which they had seen. Hence it is that he has employed the term “lastly,” because the incident mentioned was the last that took place on this same day. For the night was now coming on by the time that the two disciples had returned from the place where they had recognised Him in the breaking of bread, and had made their way into Jerusalem and found the eleven, as Luke tells us, and those who were with them, speaking to each other about the Lord’s resurrection and about His having appeared to Peter; to whom these two also related what had occurred on the way, and how they came to know Him in the breaking of bread. But, assuredly, there were also there some who did not believe. HENCE WE SEE THE TRUTH OF MARK’S WORDS, “NEITHER BELIEVED THEY THEM.” When these, therefore, were now sitting at meat, AS MARK INFORMS US, and when they were talking of these subjects, as Luke tells us, the Lord stood in their midst, and said unto them, “Peace be unto you,” as Luke and John both record. Moreover, the doors were shut when He entered among them, as John alone mentions. And thus, among the words which, as Luke and John have reported, the Lord spoke to the disciples on that occasion, this expostulation also comes in, WHICH IS INSTANCED BY MARK, and in which He upbraided them for not believing those who had seen Him after He was risen.354-430 A.D. Early Church Fathers – Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers – First Series – Volume 6 – St. Augustin: Sermon on the Mount, Harmony of the Gospels, Homilies on the Gospels – The Harmony of the Gospels. – Book III – Chapter XXV – Of Christ’s Subsequent Manifestations of Himself to the Disciples, and of the Question Whether a Thorough Harmony Can Be Established Between the Different Narratives When the Notices Given by the Four Several Evangelists, as Well as Those Presented by the Apostle Paul and in the Acts of the Apostles, are Compared Together.RECORDED EVEN BY MARK HIMSELF, who has informed us how He showed Himself first to Mary Magdalene in the early morning of the first day of the week; how she went and told them that had been with Him as they mourned and wept; how these persons refused to believe her; how, after this, He was next seen by the two disciples who were going to the residence in the country; how these twain reported what had occurred TO THEM TO THE RESIDUE, which, as Luke and John agree in certifying, took place in Jerusalem on the very day of the Lord’s resurrection, and when night was now coming on.347-407 A.D. Early Church Fathers – Nicene & Post-Nicene Fathers – First Series – Volume 12 – Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on First and Second Corinthians – Homilies on First Corinthians. – Homily XXXVIIIWhy did He not appear to all at the same time? That He might first sow the seeds of faith. For he that saw Him first and was exactly and fully assured, TOLD IT UNTO THE RESIDUE: then their report coming first placed the hearer in expectation of this great wonder, and made way before for the faith of sight.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Patristic Evidentiary Support for the Genuineness of the above PassageTatian, Diatessaron (1 10:125, 126, 128, 129) quote in entiretyIrenaeus, Against Heresies (1 1:426) quotes 16:19Tertullian, Resurrection of Flesh (1 3:584) quotes 16:19Tertullian, Against Praxeas (1 3:627) quotes 16:19Cyprian, 7th Council (1 5:569) refers to 16:17-18Gospel of Nicodemus (1 8:422,432,436,445) quotes 16:15-19Aphrahat, Demonstrations (iii 13:351) quotes 16:16-19Apostolic Constitutions (1 7:457,479) quotes 16:16-19Ambrose, The Holy Spirit (iii 133,134) quotes 16:15-18Ambrose, Cstn, Faith (iii 10:216)) quotes 16:15Ambrose, Repentance (iii 10:355) quotes 16:17-18There is no indication in the indexes of ANPF of a pre-400 AD Father quoting up to verse 8, and then stopping.Source: Early Church Fathers and the A.V. by Jack Moorman~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Greek Texts Evidentiary Support for the Genuineness of the above PassageRP Byzantine Majority Text 2005Κἀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς· οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν.Greek Orthodox Church 1904κἀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς· οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν.Scrivener’s Textus Receptus 1894κἀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς· οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν.Stephanus Textus Receptus 1550κἀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς· οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Manuscript Evidentiary Support for the Genuineness of the above PassageUncial = Majuscule = Written in All Capitol Letters.A; C; D; E; F; G; (H); K; (L); M; S; U; V; (W); X; Y;Gamma; Delta; Theta; Pi; Sigma; (Psi); Omega; (099); (0112);Cursives; THE MAJORITY TEXT fam 1, 13;Old Latin; aur; c; d-suppl; ff2; g1; g2; l; n; o; q; r2; Vulgate;Syriac: Peshita c.200 AD; Cur; Harclean; Palestinian-ms; Coptic: sa; bo; fay;Gothic; Armenian; Ethiopic;Also Extant in 047; 055; 0211; 0233?; 0257;Source; A Closer Look; Early Manuscripts & The A.V. by Jack Moorman~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Manuscript Evidentiary Support for the Genuineness of the above PassageRP Byzantine Majority Text 2005Κἀκεῖνοι ἀπελθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τοῖς λοιποῖς· οὐδὲ ἐκείνοις ἐπίστευσαν.Mark 16:13 (Münster) Variant readingsVerses 9- 20 includedDiatessarona {Date=II}Diatessaroni {Date=II}Diatessaronn {Date=II}Justin? {Date=165; Text type=W}Irenaeuslat {Date=202; Text type=W}Rebaptism {Date=258; Text type=W}copbo {Date=III/IV; Text type=A}copfay {Date=III/IV; Text type=A}Asteriusvid {Date=after 341; Text type=B}vg {Date=IV; Text type=A in Acts,James-Rev and W in Gospels and Paul}goth {Date=IV; Text type=B in the Gospels, Paul}Aphraates {Date=367; Text type=B}Apostolic Constitutions {Date=c. 380; Text type=B}Ambrose{Date=397; Text type=W}Didymusdub {Date=398; Text type=A}Epiphanius1/2 {Date=403; Text type=B}Severian {Date=after 408; Text type=B}Augustine {Date=430; Text type=W (like it^r)}Marcus Eremita {Date=430; Text type=B}A {Date=V; Text type=B (Gospels); A (rest) (like 33 and 436)}C {Date=V; Text type=A (a bit B) (Gospels, Acts, Paul, Rev); like f1739 (A, un po’ W) in the Catholics}D {Date=V; Text type=W}W {Date=V; Text type=B (Mt; Lu 8:13-end), W (Mk 1-5:30), C?
