Mark 16: 9-15 - 'Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 643 (in 'The Appearances of the Risen One') - Given all these testimonies, Christ's Resurrection cannot be interpreted as something outside the physical order, and it is impossible not to acknowledge it as an historical fact. It is clear from the facts that the disciples' faith was drastically put to the test by their master's Passion and death on the cross, which he had foretold. The shock provoked by the Passion was so great that at least some of the disciples did not at once believe in the news of the Resurrection. Far from showing us a community seized by a mystical exaltation, the Gospels present us with disciples demoralized ("looking sad") and frightened. For they had not believed the holy women returning from the tomb and had regarded their words as an "idle tale". When Jesus reveals himself to the Eleven on Easter evening, "he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen."

- 888 (in 'The Teaching Office') - Bishops, with priests as co-workers, have as their first task "to preach the Gospel of God to all men," in keeping with the Lord's command. They are "heralds of faith, who draw new disciples to Christ; they are authentic teachers" of the apostolic faith "endowed with the authority of Christ."

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome again to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast.
0:17.3	We're looking at the gospel reading for today's Mass.
0:20.2	For Easter Saturday, the reading at Mass is from Mark chapter 16 versus 9 to 15.
0:27.1	So we'll start by reading the passage and then we want to dive into the text a bit and see what we can uncover that will help us understand what the author was trying to convey.
0:37.6	So Mark chapter 16 versus verses 9 to 15.
0:41.3	Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week,
0:45.6	Jesus appeared first to Mary of Magdalar,
0:48.8	from whom he had cast out seven devils.
0:52.3	She then went to those who had been his companions and who were
0:55.9	mourning and in tears and told them, but they did not believe her when they heard her say that
1:02.3	he was alive and that she had seen him. After this he showed himself under another form
1:08.7	to two of them as they were on their way into the country.
1:12.6	These went back and told the others, who did not believe them either.
1:17.6	Lastly, he showed himself to the eleven themselves while they were at table.
1:23.6	He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy because they had refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
1:33.3	And he said to them, go out to the whole world, proclaim the good news to all creation.
1:43.0	So this is the last chapter of the Gospel of Mark, and there's a lot of controversy about
1:48.0	this last chapter of the Gospel of Mark in the Bible Scholar community.
1:53.8	Because verse 9 to 20 of the last chapter of the Gospel, that it doesn't appear in the earliest
1:59.8	manuscripts of Mark, or at least some
2:02.2	of them. So as a result, some scholars have come to believe that because some of the earliest manuscripts
2:08.9	don't have this verse 9 to 20, then maybe these verses were added later, not by Mark himself,
