Mark 16:9-20  Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Mark 16:9-20- longer ending of Mark.  These eleven verses do not appear in the manuscripts, including the two oldest surviving Greek manuscripts of the New Testament,  the codex sinaiticus and the the codex vanticants.

Even as early as early as the fourth century,  the church historum eusebium would pointedly exclude these verses from the canons,  explaining in the letter to his friend marinus that the best copies of Mark to that he knows of all are 16:18. A little later,  Jerome would also express the doubt that these verses are original to Mark, since almost all of the Greek books that he has encountered do not contain them

There are internal evidence that speaks against these verses too.  Although mark is gospel.

Mark 16:9 is no verse!

Brother Eli even confirmed it by looking for it in the British library that is one of the oldest library in the world.
