Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros heautous {πρὸς ἑαυτούς | prós heautoús} literally “toward themselves” marks the indignation as internal discussion or mutual complaint rather than public protest. A medial punctuation break (·) separates this description from the direct question that reports the content of their indignation.
In context — Mark 14:4
But some were indignant among themselves, “Why has this waste of the ointment happened?”
