9:16

What are you disputing with them?: The pronoun you probably refers to the teachers of the law. The pronoun them probably refers to the disciples.

If possible, translate the pronouns you and them in a general way that refers to two groups (as in the Berean Standard Bible). It may also be possible to leave the pronouns untranslated. For example, the New Living Translation says:

What is all this arguing about?

disputing: This is the same Greek word here as in 9:14c. Translate this word the same way you did in 9:14c.

He asked: The Berean Standard Bible places the words He asked after Jesus’ question. In Greek, these words occur before the question. Place the words He asked where it is natural in your language.
