The writing style of the "long ending" of Mark is quite different than the rest of the Gospel. Do you think that Mark decided to write the long ending in a different style than the rest of the Gospel?

God wanted Mark to end as it was originally written.

Hello,

The writing style is consistent in Mark from Mark 1:1-Mark 16:20, so consistent that it matches almost exactly with the writing style of the gospel of John when comparing each book as a whole. Here below are the examples for your review, they are subject structure outlines that show forth the precision of the word of God when following the subjects and complete thoughts.

These styles appear throughout the biblical texts too!

Any text that omits Mark 16:9-20 is in error and so are all those supposed "experts" that have convinced others to delete Mark 16:9-20 which contain the very words of Yeshua/Jesus Himself!

Also below are Matthew and Luke which also show forth the subject structure outlines. Deleting the last verses of Mark make Mark incomplete and with loose ends, something God would not do and doesn't do anywhere in the Bible.

Hope this helps!

Bless you,
Love Fountain

Many early Church Fathers quoted from these 12 verses. Some whom were around before what we call the oldest manuscripts. Google James Snapp and Mark 16:9-20, he like others here gives a great defense of it Authenticity.
Hi 65James :) :heart: Are the early Church Fathers a reliable source?
