Mark 9:32An Understandable Version (2005 edition)But His disciples did not understand what He meant and were afraid to ask Him. See the chapter |
Just about then Jesus’ disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], “What are you looking for?” or “Why are you talking to her?”
