All Commentaries on Mark 16:13 Go To Mark 16
Jerome
AD 420

But in a mystic sense we may understand that faith here labours, leading the active life, but there it reigns secure in the contemplative vision.

And when it was told, the disciples did not believe, because they saw, like Moses, that which was not enough for them, for he said, “Shew me Thyself;” forgetting his flesh, he prays in this life for that which we hope for in the life to come.
