Exegesis
The conjunction hōste {ὥστε | hṓ-ste} introduces a result clause, with the infinitive suzētein {συζητεῖν | su-zē-TEIN} functioning as a verbal noun, “so that they began to discuss,” followed by the prepositional phrase pros heautous {πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς | pròs he-aut-óus} meaning “among themselves,” indicating internal deliberation rather than public argument.
In context — Mark 1:27
And all were amazed, so that they began to question among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him .”
