I'm unhappy about the the first couple of chiasms in Mark 8, so I've left them off. There's definitely been some textual tampering back there. The next two in aren't very nice either.

Anyway, here's the whole nine yards. Note how Mark 9:1, that puzzling comment that hangs at the beginning of Mark 9, actually belongs to the previous pericope. How many exegetes have concluded that it is an interpolation because it just hangs there in space? Mark's pericoping is wrong, wrong, wrong.

400K of Mark, comin' at ya'

Interestingly enough, if you read Mark 9:1 against its companion B bracket, you get the identity of the "some" won't taste of death who will be "standing there."
