OET (OET-LV) And they were_keeping_silent, because/for they_were_discussing with one_another on the road, who was greater.
OET (OET-RV) But they didn’t reply because while they were walking, they had been talking about which of them is the best.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
οἱ & ἐσιώπων, πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, τίς μείζων
they & /were/_keeping_silent with one_another for ˱they˲_/were/_discussing on the road who_‹was› greater
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “they had been arguing with one another on the way about who was greatest, so they were silent”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τίς μείζων
who_‹was› greater
Here, greatest refers to who was the greatest among the disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “who was the greatest among them”
9:33-50 Because the disciples did not understand Jesus’ prediction of his suffering, they were unable to see its implications for their own lives.
OET (OET-LV) And they were_keeping_silent, because/for they_were_discussing with one_another on the road, who was greater.
OET (OET-RV) But they didn’t reply because while they were walking, they had been talking about which of them is the best.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
