→‎Variations in Mark 16:8: "γάρ" is a conjunction meaning "for" or "since", with the reason to follow. It is exceedingly unlikely that the word "γάρ" would be the last word in a book.

The verse for Mark 16:8 in [[Codex Sinaiticus]] is different from that in Biblehub and other sources based on early manuscripts.  Codex Sinaiticus has the nonsensical double word ("οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν"), while Biblehub does not and instead ends with only οὐδενὶ Strong's 3762: No one, none, nothing, which it translates in brackets as "[a word to anyone]."

Similarly, many scholars argue that the last two words in Mark 16:8 are areἐφοβοῦντο γάρ (“for they were afraid”),<ref>https://rsc.byu.edu/king-james-bible-restoration/endings-mark-revelation</ref> but that is merely because that is the ending of that verse in both the [[Codex Sinaiticus]] and the [[Codex Vaticanus]].<ref>https://www.thetextofthegospels.com/2016/04/codex-vaticanus-and-ending-of-mark.html</ref>  There are no other early manuscripts of the [[Gospel of Mark]] to check this against.  As explained in the next section, this is a highly unlikely Greek syntax with which to end a book.

== Greek syntax disproves the full 16:8 ==

The last word in the reported verse 16:8 is "γάρ", which is a post-positive term in Greek such that it is usually the second word in a sentence.  "γάρ" is a conjunction meaning "for" or "since", with the reason to follow.  It is exceedingly unlikely that the word "γάρ" would be the last word in a book.
