The Mark ending -- the final chapter 16 to the Gospel of Mark -- has questionable authenticity after the first half of its verse 8. There is extensive commentary on the internet as to why verses 9-16 are not authentic, including the fact that these ending verses are not in the earliest manuscripts and are doubtful as to doctrine.

But the second half of verse 8 has received less attention. It is likewise probably not authentic.

reads:
“ And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. ”
