Exegesis
The clause concludes with the aorist verb episteusan {ἐπίστευσαν | e-pí-steu-san}, negated by ouk {οὐκ | ouk}, summarizing the disciples’ failure: “they did not believe.” In translation, the two aorist verbs are retained as main narrative events (“appeared,” “rebuked”), while participles are rendered as finite clauses (“as they were reclining,” “those who had seen Him”) to keep English syntax clear and preserve the causal relationship expressed by hoti.
In context — Mark 16:14
Afterward, He appeared to them, the eleven, as they were reclining , and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him risen.
