Berean Study Bible

And these signs
The term "signs" in the Greek is "σημεῖα" (sēmeia), which refers to miraculous events that serve as divine indicators or confirmations of God's power and presence. In the biblical context, signs are not mere wonders but are purposeful acts that point to a greater spiritual truth or reality. Historically, signs have been used by God to authenticate His messengers and their message, as seen throughout the Old and New Testaments. These signs are a testament to the divine authority and truth of the Gospel message.

will accompany
The Greek word for "accompany" is "παρακολουθήσει" (parakolouthēsei), which means to follow closely or to be present with. This suggests that the signs are not random or sporadic but are consistently present with believers as they carry out their mission. The use of this word implies a promise of God's continual presence and support for those who are faithful to His calling.

those who believe
The phrase "those who believe" is derived from the Greek "πιστεύσασιν" (pisteusasin), indicating an ongoing state of faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This belief is not a one-time event but a continuous, living faith that is active and evident in the life of the believer. Historically, the early church was marked by a deep and abiding faith that was often demonstrated through acts of courage and miraculous signs, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.

In My name
The phrase "In My name" signifies the authority and power of Jesus Christ. In the ancient world, a name represented the essence and authority of a person. To act in Jesus' name is to act with His authority and in alignment with His will. This underscores the importance of a personal relationship with Christ and the believer's submission to His lordship. The use of Jesus' name in prayer and ministry is a central theme in the New Testament, emphasizing the power and presence of Christ in the believer's life.

they will drive out demons
The act of driving out demons, "ἐκβάλλουσιν" (ekballousin) in Greek, is a demonstration of the authority of Christ over the spiritual realm. This phrase reflects the reality of spiritual warfare and the believer's role in advancing God's kingdom by confronting and overcoming evil. Historically, exorcisms were a significant aspect of Jesus' ministry and were continued by His disciples, showcasing the power of God to liberate individuals from spiritual bondage.

they will speak in new tongues
The phrase "speak in new tongues" comes from the Greek "γλώσσαις λαλήσουσιν καιναῖς" (glōssais lalēsousin kainais). The term "tongues" refers to languages, and "new" suggests languages that are previously unknown to the speaker. This phenomenon, first witnessed at Pentecost (Acts 2), serves as a sign of the Holy Spirit's presence and the universality of the Gospel message. It symbolizes the breaking down of barriers and the unifying work of the Spirit in bringing diverse peoples into the body of Christ. Historically, speaking in tongues has been a source of both inspiration and controversy within the church, yet it remains a powerful testament to the dynamic and supernatural work of the Holy Spirit.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(17) They shall speak with new tongues.--This is noticeable as being the only distinct reference in the Gospels to the form of the Pentecostal gift. The promise of the Spirit itself had been prominent, however, throughout our Lord's teaching (Luke 11:13; John 14:17; John 14:26), and appears from Acts 1:8 to have been specially renewed between the Resurrection and Ascension. On the nature of the gift itself, see Notes on Acts 2:4; Acts 10:46; Acts 19:6; 1Corinthians 12:10; 1Corinthians 14:4-26. . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 17, 18. - And these signs shall follow them that believe. Such evidences were necessary in the first dawn of Christianity, to attract attention to the doctrine; but our Lord's words do not mean that they were to be in perpetuity, as a continually recurring evidence of the truth of Christianity. St. Gregory (on 1 Corinthians 14:22) says, "These signs were necessary in the beginning of Christianity. In order that faith might take root and increase, it must be nourished by miracle; for so even we, when we plant shrubs, only water them until we see that they are taking root, and when we see that they have rooted themselves, we cease to water them. And this is what St. Paul means where he says 'Tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving' (1 Corinthians 14:22)." In my name shall they cast out devils. St. Mark, of all the evangelists, dwells most perhaps on this, as characteristic of our Lord's work, and as the evidence of his supreme dominion over the spiritual world. They shall speak with new tongues. This was the first intimation of the great miracle to be inaugurated on the day of Pentecost. The gift was continued but for a very limited time. They shall take up serpents. The instance of St. Paul at Melita (Acts 28:3-5) would be familiar to St. Mark's readers. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them. There are some few traditionary notices of the fulfillment of this promise; as in the case of "Justus Barsabas," mentioned by Eusebius ('H.E.,' 3, 19), and of St. John, mentioned by St. Augustine. It may be observed of this passage, that no one could have interpolated it after the cessation of the signs to which it refers, which took place very early.
