The kephalaia (an ancient system of chapter division) are marked on the inside margin of NA27 as italic numbers.
The Gospels have the following number of kephalaia:
Matthew: 68
Mark: 48
Luke: 83
John: 18
Why are there fewer kephalaia in John? Is there any evidence that they derive from a different source from those on the synoptics? Could early popularity of John have meant that it gained a system of chapters earlier?
