Context of Mark 16:15

13Those two disciples went and told all the other disciples. But the other disciples did not believe them. 14After that, Jesus appeared to the 11 apostles while they were eating. He told them that they were wrong not to believe. They should have been ready to believe. People had seen that he was now alive again. But the disciples had not believed them. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Go to all people everywhere in the world. Tell God's good news to everyone. 16If a person believes in me, then you should baptize that person. And God will save that person. But if a person does not believe, God will judge that person to be guilty. 17These miracles will happen when people believe in me. On my behalf, they will send bad spirits out of people. They will speak new languages.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Into all the world - To the Gentiles as well as the Jews.
