Mark 10 : 28

Greek places the article and subject (ὁ Πέτρος) after the infinitive λέγειν, while Vulgate positions Petrus before dicere and Peshitta places ܟܐܦܐ (Kepha) immediately after the verb. All three traditions identify Peter as the speaker but employ different syntactic arrangements typical of their respective languages.

Greek αὐτῷ and Vulgate ei explicitly mark the dative indirect object ('to him'), whereas Peshitta omits this pronoun, relying on context to identify Jesus as the addressee. This is a common Syriac stylistic preference when the referent is clear from discourse context.

Vulgate inserts a colon to mark the transition to direct speech, a Latin scribal convention not reflected in Greek or Syriac manuscript traditions, which use contextual markers (ἰδού / ܗܐ) instead.

Greek πάντα and Vulgate omnia use a single neuter plural adjective ('all things'), while Peshitta employs the emphatic construction ܟܠ ܡܕܡ (kul medem, 'everything whatsoever'), a Semitic intensification pattern that adds semantic weight without altering the core meaning.

Greek uses the perfect tense ἠκολουθήκαμέν (single verb form) to express completed action with ongoing result, while Vulgate employs the perfect passive participle secuti with auxiliary sumus (periphrastic construction). Peshitta ܘܢܩܦܢܟ conflates the conjunction and verb into a single bound form, typical of Syriac morphology.
