Mark 16: End Run Around

If you read Mark 16 in the New International Version, you will that the translators include verses 9-20, but only with a note that most manuscripts end at verse 8.  The translators of the NIV have concluded that verses 9-20 were a later addition to the chapter and that Mark either ends at verse 8 or the original ending after verse 8 was lost.  This are tricky issues about which I have neither time nor full expertise to write a post.  If you are interested in the issue, read the link below.  I don't know much about this website, but I find their post on this particular issue to be rather level headed.  It will probably provide far more information than most would want on this issue!
