To: Mark17

RE: The Gospel of Mark ended at verse 8.

It reads:

“Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.”

That is one abrupt ending.

It’s hard to believe that someone who wrote one of the Gospels would abruptly end his narrative here with no mention of Jesus ascending to heaven.

It would seem so, but I will not take up snakes, or drink poison. Maybe Rdmd1 or AMPU might be able to add some words of wisdom.

If you follow what Paul wrote about Mark, he was a flakey guy at first, but later settled down.
