Marcos 9:16

16 Y El les preguntó: ¿Qué discutís con ellos?

Marcos 9:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:16

And he asked the Scribes
The Vulgate Latin renders it, "he asked them"; and the Ethiopic version, he said unto them; meaning either that he asked the disciples when he came to them, or else the people that ran to salute him; but the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read, "the Scribes"; seeing them about his disciples, in close debate with them, and running hard upon them, he asks them,

what question ye with them?
what is it ye seek and require of them? what is your dispute with them? what is your debate about? The Vulgate Latin version reads, "what question ye among you?" among themselves, and one another; and so Beza's most ancient copy.

Marcos 9:16 In-Context

14 Cuando volvieron a los discípulos, vieron una gran multitud que les rodeaba, y a unos escribas que discutían con ellos.
15 Enseguida, cuando toda la multitud vio a Jesús, quedó sorprendida, y corriendo hacia El, le saludaban.
16 Y El les preguntó: ¿Qué discutís con ellos?
17 Y uno de la multitud le respondió: Maestro, te traje a mi hijo que tiene un espíritu mudo,
18 y siempre que se apodera de él, lo derriba, y echa espumarajos, cruje los dientes y se va consumiendo. Y dije a tus discípulos que lo expulsaran, pero no pudieron.
