It's in The Real Bible, but not in a few corrupt and mistake filled Greek manuscripts, which some foolishly think are best because they are older copies than the vast Majority of Manuscripts, which contain the rest of Mark's Gospel.
Here is how Mark's Gospel would end, if these few Manuscripts were the original version. After reading the whole story of the Good News about Jesus Christ...here is how the book would end. ---> "And when they heard, they fled and left the sepulchre; for astonishment and trembling had seized them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were in fear." Mark 16:8
Do we really think that is how Mark would have ended it?
Witnesses?
1: According to St. Ireneaus in about 180 A.D., the Gospel did indeed go past 16:8. Where he shows us what was in his very anceint copy of the New Testament, where he quotes ---> "...and conferred on those that believe in Him the power ?to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy,?" vs 17-18 and ---> "Also, towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says: ?So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God;? vs 19. <!-- s

2: The Peshitta has the passage as well...and its text is at least 100 years older than St. Ireneaus' personal copy. The Diatessaron also has it in its text from about 165 A.D.
3: The Majority of Greek copies and other versions contain the original ending verses of St. Mark's Gospel.
It's Original.
