57) There can be not reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the last passage in Mark, vv.9-20. The gospel surely did not end with v.8. Being the end of the parchment roll, this passage may have been mutilated in many manuscripts. But though it is missing in many of the ancient manuscripts, it is found in the Freer (Washington) Manuscript, with an addition to v. 14 (Cobern, The New Archeological Discoveries, 64. 583. 194). The style shows the concise, vivid narrative of Mark. Many terms, to the careful reader at least, show the influence of Peter. The simplest and most comprehensive summaries on the question are those of Fuerbringer, Einleitung in das Neue Testament, 27-29, and Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol. 1.
