Mark 16:1 - Anointing Jesus Body

August 30, 2026

The Anointing of Jesus #

Mark 16:1-8

Introduction

This chapter is easily divided into three segments. The first is the 1. Anointing of Jesus (1-8) 2. The Appearing of Jesus (9-18) (most modern Bibles omit these verses). 3. The Ascension of the Lord. We will only look at the first part today, of the first 8 verses.

Their were at least 4 in total that went to anoint the body of Jesus. Mark only records the three. Remember that the differences are simply that, perspective of the disciples is varied. If you have several children go to grandmas house and spend a day. Each of them tell the story a little different based on what stood out to them. God used these men to bring out details. All are correct.
