Many refer to Mark 16:15 as the ‘Great Commission’ that applies to all who believe and have been baptized but are there any scriptures to support this? Clearly, Jesus is talking specifically to his 11 disciples in these verses. Are there any scriptures that tells us that others believers besides these 11 went out and preached the gospel, cast out devils, spoke in tongues, took up serpents, did not die from deadly drink, laid hands on and healed the sick or was this a ‘commission’ that was only given to his chosen 11?. (Mark 16: 17-20)
