My apology for my oversight. I have to make a correction.
The text of Mark is continuing into 11:27ff to tell us the setting is that
Jesus is on the way to Jerusalem (on a new day). So PRWI refers to the
morning.
However, I like to know whether PRWI can refer to other than morning at all.
Thanks,
Oun Kwon.
