Missing verses???

So I have a looming question as we read the last chapter in Mark!  My Bible says that only the first 8 verses of chapter 16 were in the original book of Mark.  Where did the rest come from?  Did Mark really write them??  It is hard to tell what pieces of writing are valid if there is discrepancy between scholars.  As a reader or the Bible, and not a scholar, I am confused.

As for Genesis, basically all chapter 46 says is that Jacob arrived in Egypt, and it recaps his children. 

I realize this is a terribly short blog, but I wasn't too excited about the chapters today.  That is a mixture of being tired and being in a bad mood from a very long day at work!  Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
