Mark 16:8

8 And they went out and ^{▼▼*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“went out”) has been translated as a finite verb} fled from the tomb, because trembling and amazement had seized them. And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. ^{▼▼The Gospel of Mark ends at this point in some manuscripts, including two of the most important ones, while other manuscripts supply a shorter ending (sometimes included as part of v. 8), others supply the traditional longer ending (vv. 9–20), and still other manuscripts supply both the shorter ending and vv. 9–20; due to significant questions about the authenticity of these alternative endings, many scholars regard 16:8 as the last verse of the Gospel of Mark}
