How many chapters in the original Gospel of Mark?

Answer 1

A:It must be remembered that chapters were not introduced into the biblical texts until the thirteenth century. Prior to that time, the Gospel of Mark, in all forms and redactions, was essentially a long text without reference points.

The Gospel of Mark is use today consists of sixteen chapters. The original text of Mark is believed to have finished at what is now verse 16:8, so would still have consisted of sixteen chapters, but the last chapter would be a very short one.
