It has been noted that there is one verse at the very end of the [[Gospel of Mark]] where a "believer" may drink any poison without harm coming to him or her (Mark 16:18).  It should be noted that the most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses end the Gospel of Mark with verse 8 of the 16th chapter.  The verse in question is not in these versions.<ref>NIV Study Bible, Zondervan 1985, Pg. 1530</ref>  Apart from this questioned section, there is no other mention of drinking poison without harm in the [[New Testament]].<ref>NIV Study Bible, Zondervan 1985, Pg. 1531</ref>
