Context of Mark 16:15

13And they went away and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them, either. 14Later He appeared to the eleven disciples themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reprimanded them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen from the dead. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned. 17These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;

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