Flush-left = a main (independent) clause. Each dependent line begins directly beneath the word it attaches to in the line above — the anchor word is dotted-underlined, and lights up when you hover its dependent clause; each tag also names the attachment. A dashed border marks verbless, elliptical, or suspended lines. Where a long sentence's staircase runs wider than the page, the diagram scrolls sideways. (In print, or without JavaScript, lines fall back to stepped indent columns.)

Analysis. Mark 10 is the journey chapter — Galilee behind, Jerusalem ahead (Ἦσαν δὲ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἀναβαίνοντες, v. 32) — and the layout keeps Mark's flush-left paratactic column while the blue speech-blocks grow long: this is a chapter of exchanges, and nearly every purple main verb is a verb of asking or answering (ἐπηρώτων, εἶπεν, λέγει — the historic presents flagged as they land), with the preposed circumstantial participles and genitive absolutes still leaning forward, anchorless, on the verbs below them. In the divorce dispute the Pharisees' test hangs as an indirect question under ἐπηρώτων, the counter-question and the Deut 24 reply trade single lines, and Jesus' answer climbs from the σκληροκαρδία-concession through the Gen 1:27 and Gen 2:24 citations to the ὃ οὖν ὁ θεὸς συνέζευξεν aphorism; in the house the ὅς-ἄν and ἐάν clauses lean forward, protasis-style, on their shared μοιχᾶται — the both-directions ruling of vv. 11–12 (the wife too can divorce and be the adulterer, a Greco-Roman possibility unique to Mark's form of the saying) is kept evenhanded and unsoftened. The rich man's scene owns two cruxes named in the tags: Τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; (v. 18) is laid out as deflection-to-the-source, not denial — the christological edge left open; and at v. 24 the layout follows the shorter text of ℵ B ('how hard it is to enter,' absolutely) where the majority adds τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐπὶ χρήμασιν, 'those who trust in riches'; v. 7's cleaving-clause (absent ℵ B) and v. 21's ἄρας τὸν σταυρόν addition are likewise flagged. Peter's ἀφήκαμεν draws the chapter's deepest chain — οὐδείς ἐστιν … ὃς ἀφῆκεν … ἐὰν μὴ λάβῃ, the exceptive protasis hanging anchored beneath the catalogue, with its hundredfold apposition and the sober μετὰ διωγμῶν. The third passion prediction runs as a flat cnt catena of futures — handed over, condemn, hand over, mock, spit, scourge, kill, rise — each verb a draft the passion narrative will honor. The Zebedee scene sets the cup-and-baptism questions against the τὸ δὲ καθίσαι disclaimer and grounds the servant-sayings in the ransom word: λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν is tagged with ἀντί read as genuinely substitutionary ('in place of,' Isa 53:10–12 in the background) — the side the layout takes, while the broader 'on behalf of' reading is acknowledged. Bartimaeus closes the chapter as the model disciple: his cries hang under κράζειν and ἔκραζεν, the summons relays down three lines (φωνήσατε — φωνοῦσιν — φωνεῖ σε), Jesus' τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; repeats verbatim the question asked of James and John, and the frame is the chapter's quiet inclusio — the beggar παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν (v. 46) ends ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ (v. 52), following, on the verse where the chapter's single εὐθύς fires.
