This paper is written as an exegesis of Mark 16. 1–8. It could 1 be called a midrash on R. H. Lightfoot's treatment of the subject in his Gospel Message of Saint Mark. I accept his argument that this was the concluding paragraph of the gospel. The exegesis which I shall give assumes that the account is written with great care and exactness, and that its theological meaning is conveyed, after this evangelist's manner, by subtle allusions, and that the theological meaning is integral to the narrative; no bare chronicle could express the ‘truth’ of such an event.
