Mark 10 : 37

Greek frames the subject with an articular substantive plus postpositive δέ (οἱ δέ, 'and they'); the Vulgate renders only the connective Et, leaving the verb to carry the third-person plural subject. The Peshitta supplies no separate conjunction here, embedding the connection in the asyndetic narrative flow.

Greek and Syriac attach the indirect object (αὐτῷ / ܠܗ, 'to him') to the verb of speaking, whereas the Vulgate omits the pronoun entirely and marks the introduction of direct discourse only with a colon, a stylistic feature of Latin oratio recta.

Greek and Latin place the numeral εἷς / unus as a free-standing subject of the purpose clause, while the Peshitta prefixes the relative-marking dalath to the numeral (ܕܚܕ) so that the conjunction ܕ subordinates the whole clause, the Syriac equivalent of the Greek ἵνα construction expressed at idx 6.

The Greek here reads σου ('of you'), an apparently misplaced or intrusive genitive pronoun whose presence is grammatically awkward; neither the Peshitta nor the Vulgate witness a corresponding possessive at this point, the second-person reference being carried only by the later forms ܝܡܝܢܟ / dexteram tuam.

Greek and Latin coordinate with καὶ εἷς / et alius (Latin preferring the distributive alius, 'the other', over a repeated 'one'); the Peshitta fuses the conjunction and numeral into a single form ܘܚܕ ('and one'), matching the Greek idiom more closely than the Latin lexical choice.

Greek ἐξ ἀριστερῶν σου with the trailing possessive parallels the right-hand phrase; the Vulgate again employs directional ad sinistram tuam, while the Peshitta synthesises preposition and suffixed possessive in ܡܢ ܣܡܠܟ ('from your left'), the root s-m-l cognate with Hebrew שְׂמֹאל.

Greek and Latin position the verb καθίσωμεν / sedeamus ('let us sit') at the end of the purpose clause after both spatial phrases; the Peshitta places ܢܬܒ ('he/we may sit') immediately after the first numeral (idx 5), a word-order divergence reflecting Syriac preference for early placement of the finite verb.

Greek expresses the locative with preposition, article, noun, and possessive (ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου); the Vulgate drops the article (in gloria tua), Latin lacking the definite article; the Peshitta synthesises preposition, noun, and possessive suffix into the single form ܒܫܘܒܚܟ ('in your glory'), from the root sh-b-kh cognate with Hebrew שָׁבַח.
