Oldest Bible to go online

Interesting that the oldest Bible on record contains no mention of Jesus' resurrection ...

Handwritten in Greek more than 1,600 years ago - it isn't exactly clear where - the surviving 400 or so pages carry a version of the New Testament that has a few interesting differences from the Bible used by Christians today.

The Gospel of Mark ends abruptly after Jesus' disciples discover his empty tomb, for example. Mark's last line has them leaving in fear.

"It cuts out the post-resurrection stories," said Juan Garces, curator of the Codex Sinaiticus Project. "That's a very odd way of ending a Gospel."

James Davila, a professor of early Jewish studies at St. Andrews University in Scotland, said the Codex also includes religious works foreign to the Roman Catholic and Protestant canons -- such as the "Epistle of Barnabas" and the "Shepherd of Hermas," a book packed with visions and parables.

So if Mark stopped writing his Gospel after finding Jesus' empty tomb, what the hell was he doing after finding the empty tomb?

"Oh ... damn. Hey fellers? Um ... Jesus' body isn't in here. Kind of strange, isn't it? It's almost like he came back to life like he said he would. Oh well, let's go drink some wine."

Mark just wrote a really long memo and the second part was linked to a different page on Romanesko, causing this confusion.

No mention of the resurrection is not accurate. It says the tomb was empty. Then the Gospel ends. That hardly disputes the resurrection.

I think you're turning that into something that is completely off-base.

Does it or does it not contain resurrection stories?

I'm not saying it means anything. But I find it interesting that version of the Gospel of Mark ends that way.
