Mike does leave open the possibility that this is Scripture that was added by a later editor other than Mark. But he falls short, as far as I can tell, of a full endorsement of it as Scripture, at least for now. Though I disagree with Mike on this subject, his tone and honesty, are to be commended. This a disagreement among brethren. Make sure you subscribe to his channel, he puts out some really good content. I find Scrivener's words still apropos: The proofs of the genuineness of ver. 9–20 seem quite overwhelming. They are contained in Codd. ACD (which last is defective from ver. 15), in all other uncials, in all cursives without exception; in the Syriac, in the Curetonian (which, by a singular happiness, contains ver. 17–20, though no other portion of S. Mark), the Peshito, the Jerusalem, and Philoxenian text, in the Thebaic (ver. 20 alone being preserved), the Memphitic, all the Old Latin except k. (but a. by the first hand and b. e. are defective), the Vulgate, the Gothic (to ver. 12), the Georgian and lesser versions, even the Æthiopic and Armenian with the exceptions stated above. Of ancient writers, the paragraph was known possibly to Papias, probably to Justin Martyr, certainly to Irenæus in the second century; to Hippolytus and apparently to Celsus in the third; to the Persian sage Aphraates (in a Syriac Homily dated A.D. 337), to Cyril of Jerusalem, Epiphanius, Ambrose, Augustine, Chrysostom, in the fourth. Add to this the fact of which Mr Burgon has made such excellent use, that in the Calendar of Church lessons, which existed unquestionably in the fourth century, very probably much earlier, the passage formed part of a special service for so high a feast as Ascension Day, and was used on other occasions in the ordinary course of Divine service.
