Mark 9:34

But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

But they didn’t answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.

The silence was deafening--they had been arguing with one another over who among them was greatest.

But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest.

But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.

But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.
