Mark's Gospel consists of a parallel structure, which is a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another set of events that parallels the first.

The opening set begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus, followed by the baptism and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with Jesus predicting his death. The contrasting structure begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with the crucifixion, followed by the young man explaining the departure of Jesus. Mark contrasted John's announcement of the coming of Jesus with the young man's explanation of the departure of Jesus. The Gospel contrasts the baptism and the voice from heaven with the Transfiguration and the voice from heaven. And it uses the prediction by Jesus of his death, after they travelled into the towns of Caesarea Philippi (Mark 8:27) at the end of the first set , to contrast with the actual death in the second set.

Why were there apparently no synagogues in Philippi?

Jewish communities in Greece were not endemic. They had more to do with where Jews from the Judean Territories had settled in Greece and proselytized. It just so happened that Philippi was a city where the Jews had not established a large presence by the time of the New Testament.Answer:It has been speculated that the Jewish community in Philippi was very small, not large enough to warrant the building of a synagogue. We may assume that they prayed in a private residence, just as sometimes happens today.
