[7] Glossa Ordinaria: For from God we receive only such things as are good, of what kind soever they may seem to us when we receive them; for all things work together for good to His beloved.

The Gospel of Mark ends somewhat abruptly at end of verse 8 ("for they were afraid.") in א and B (both 4th century) and some much later Greek manuscripts, a few mss of the ancient versions (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian), and is specifically mentioned in the writings of such Church Fathers as Eusebius and Jerome explicitly doubted the authenticity ...
