Mark 9:15

15 et interrogavit eos quid inter vos conquiritis

Mark 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:15

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him
As soon as ever they saw him, to many of whom, especially those that followed him out of Galilee, he was personally known.

Were greatly amazed;
either that he should come at that juncture, to assist and relieve his disciples, when the Scribes were triumphing over them, as some think; or rather, as others, on account of that remaining lustre and glory which was on his countenance, through his transfiguration, and not yet wholly gone off; like that which was on the face of Moses, when he came down from Mount Sinai:

and running to him, saluted him;
wishing him all peace and prosperity, expressing their great joy at his coming to them; which was very desirable by them, and exceedingly pleasing to them, and especially at this time, as both their words and gesture showed.

Mark 9:15 In-Context

13 et veniens ad discipulos suos vidit turbam magnam circa eos et scribas conquirentes cum illis

14 et confestim omnis populus videns eum stupefactus est et adcurrentes salutabant eum

15 et interrogavit eos quid inter vos conquiritis

16 et respondens unus de turba dixit magister adtuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum

17 qui ubicumque eum adprehenderit adlidit eum et spumat et stridet dentibus et arescit et dixi discipulis tuis ut eicerent illum et non potuerunt
