Mark 16:14-16

He appeared unto the eleven. Compare Lu 24:36-49 Joh 20:19-23. He said unto them. Probably not at the time referred to in Mr 16:14, but later. The Lord appeared many times during the forty days. These words may have been spoken at the great meeting in Galilee (Mr 16:7 Mt 28:18-20).

Go ye into all the world. Jesus is the world's Savior; he died for all; the gospel must be preached to all. In the first commission they were sent only to Jews (Mt 10:6).

Preach the gospel. The good news of salvation through Christ; the way of life.

To every creature. To every mortal. None are denied the Savior if they will have him. He that believeth. Believeth the gospel message; believes in Christ as his Savior.

And is baptized. These are the condition of pardon; faith in Christ and obedience to his command. If any one has not faith enough in Christ to obey him, he has not faith enough to be saved.

He that believeth not. Remains in a state of unbelief. Such have no promise. See Joh 3:18.
