Mt 28:
The Koine word for "some" (τινὲς) was not in the manuscript.
but
δὲ (de)Conjunction
Strong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.
some
οἱ (hoi)
Article - Nominative Masculine Plural
Strong's 3588: The, the definite article. Including the feminine he, and the neuter to in all their inflections; the definite article; the.
doubted.
ἐδίστασαν (edistasan)
Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural
Strong's 1365: To waver, doubt, hesitate. From dis; properly, to duplicate, i.e. to waver.
BDAG διστάζω:
① to have doubts concerning something, doubt, waver
② to be uncertain about taking a particular course of action, hesitate in doubt
New American Bible:
It referred to those among the Eleven who hesitated while prostrating themselves before Jesus.
they worshiped Him,
προσεκύνησαν (prosekynēsan)
Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural
4352: From pros and a probable derivative of kuon; to fawn or crouch to, i.e. prostrate oneself in homage.
Both προσεκύνησαν-prostrate and ἐδίστασαν-hesitate were aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural. The two verbs were connected by the conjunction δὲ. This allowed for the possibility of simultaneous actions.
My translation:
