Footnote 1 – How Mary Magdalene Became a Whore

The Marcan addition is the longer ending of Mark (16:9–20) found in many manuscripts. It is accepted as canonical, although printed in smaller type in many translations. According to most scholars, it was not written by Mark but added later. Some scholars think 16:9–20 is dependent on the other Gospels and summarizes their narratives of resurrection appearances; other scholars regard it as independent tradition.
