Mark 10 : 2

The Greek aorist participle προσελθόντες and Latin present participle accedentes both render 'having come/approaching'; the Peshitta fuses the conjunction and verb into a single finite form ܘܩܪܒܘ ('and they approached'), shifting the participial construction into a coordinated main verb.

Greek ἐπηρώτων and Latin interrogabant are simple finite verbs of asking; the Peshitta renders the act with the coordinated participial ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ('and asking'), reflecting a periphrastic Syriac construction that strings the verbs of approaching, testing, and asking in series.

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon after eum to mark the onset of direct discourse; neither the Greek nor the Peshitta employs such punctuation, which is an editorial feature of the Latin transmission.

Greek γυναῖκα and Latin uxorem are general/legal terms for 'wife', while the Peshitta uses ܐܢܬܬܗ with a pronominal suffix ('his wife'), making the possessive relationship explicit where the other traditions leave it implied by the dative ἀνδρὶ/viro.

The Greek infinitive ἀπολῦσαι and Latin infinitive dimittere express 'to divorce/dismiss'; the Peshitta employs a finite subjunctive ܕܢܫܒܘܩ ('that he should release/forsake', root sh-b-q), converting the infinitival complement into a subordinate verbal clause typical of Syriac syntax.

All three attest the participle 'testing/tempting' (πειράζοντες / tentantes / ܡܢܣܝܢ), but the Peshitta places this clause earlier in the sentence, immediately after the Pharisees, whereas Greek and Latin position it at the close of the verse — a word-order divergence reflecting differing rhetorical emphasis.

The Vulgate adds a second colon before tentantes to set off the testing clause as a parenthetical aside; this punctuation has no counterpart in the Greek or Syriac witnesses and is a feature of the Clementine editorial layout.
