Compare all
15 aAnd He said to them, “Go into all the world band preach the gospel to every creature.  
16 aHe who believes and is baptized will be saved; bbut he who does not believe will be condemned.  
17 And these asigns will follow those who believe: bIn My name they will cast out demons; cthey will speak with new tongues;  
18 athey will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; bthey will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then, aafter the Lord had spoken to them, He was breceived up into heaven, and csat down at the right hand of God.  
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them aand confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Mark 16:15-18

Any mention of power? Yes there is, but it is subtle, is it not? They would have power to heal. They would have power to cast out demons. But the wording in the book of Matthew is so obviously focused on authority and power. He said, "I have the power and I am giving it to you!" That is Matthew's approach.

Mark's approach is quite a bit different. He says, "Go," and He implies they are going as a servant. He even hints at a measure of rejection and resistance, and other difficult experiences despite the right attitude and the best of service. The approach is, "I will be working in you."
