Summary:The Roman lectionary solves the problem of anticlimax by cutting out the problem at verse 8 and stopping at Mark 16.7. This plays havoc with some commentators' accounts of Mark's intentions. The scenario suggested here implies that the liturgists may accidentally have got Mark right. If this reconstruction is entertained, their mutilation of Mark no longer spoils his literary and theological design.
