📚 Historical Context

In the Gospel of Mark, this verse is part of Jesus' post-resurrection instructions to His disciples, known as the Great Commission, where He outlines the signs that would accompany believers as they spread the Gospel. This promise was given in a first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman context, where miracles served to authenticate the message of Christ amidst widespread idolatry and skepticism. It reflects the early church's expectation of supernatural empowerment to confront spiritual opposition.
