On this week's (second) episode Joe and Rick discuss Mark 16, recounting the resurrection of Jesus, his appearances to the disciples, and his commission and ascension to heaven. They discuss how the women—Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome—discovered an empty tomb and encountered an angel who announced that Jesus had risen. They highlight that despite the miraculous declaration, the disciples initially struggled with disbelief until Jesus appeared to them in person, confirming his resurrection with physical proofs. The conversation also covers Jesus’ Great Commission, where he rebukes the apostles for their unbelief and sends them out to preach the gospel, promising that miraculous signs will follow those who believe. Lastly, Joe and Rick address textual issues regarding the ending of Mark, affirming that the majority of manuscripts support the inclusion of these verses as authentic and essential to the resurrection account.
