After Jesus's resurrection, he appears to the eleven.
Mark 16:15 ... Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15 Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:15 Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
Going into this every society, proclaim the good news to all the populace.
This verse is omitted from some of the most ancient Greek texts. There are two very uncommon words here. The "all" before "the world" is an uncommon word meaning "every." The word translated as "creature/creation" only appears in Jesus's words three times. It refers to founding of a state that can mean "populace."
The word translated as "preach" can mean "proclaim" but it primarily means "to be a herald." It is tied to the word translated as "good news" which primarily means "the reward for bringing good news." In other words, it was the "tip" given to heralds.
In society, there are more than one society.
