Please keep in mind that the gospel of 'Mark' ends at verse 8.
So verses 9-20 were added on in KJV
The style of writing changes after verse 8, and there are no corresponding or reference Scriptures as there is with the rest of Mark's writings.
Jerome and Eusebius agree Mark ends at verse 8
Those last verses are Not in the Sinaitic Manuscript, the Vatican 1209 or the Sinaitic Syriac codex or Armenian Version.
i'm sorry what does this have anything to do with what we are discussing?
The deeds mentioned at James are spiritual deeds which could include neighborly Samaritan deeds as Jesus mentioned in his illustration of the good Samaritan showing we should all widen out in our love for others besides teach or be teaching others about the good news of God's kingdom.
"they will place their hands on the sick and they will be healed..."
deeds of faith.
Matt 24v14;28vs19,20. Isn't that being done today?
Couldn't the point of having a mark to aim for be for hitting the target to be one of the sheep-like ones of Matthew25vs31,32?
a red herring.
