Mark 10 : 3

The Peshitta omits the Greek participial construction ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν ('And he answering said'), rendering only the main verb ܐܡܪ ('he said'). The Vulgate preserves the Greek structure with At ille respondens dixit, maintaining the redundant Semitic pleonasm typical of narrative style in the Synoptic tradition.

The Vulgate inserts a colon to mark direct discourse, a Latin scribal convention absent in Greek manuscripts (which use a raised dot or no punctuation) and Syriac (which relies on syntactic context).

The Peshitta omits the explicit dative pronoun ὑμῖν / vobis ('to you'), as Syriac ܦܩܕܟܘܢ encodes the second-person plural object suffixally within the verb itself, making a separate pronoun redundant.

The Vulgate adds a question mark, a medieval Latin punctuation innovation. Greek manuscripts use a semicolon (;) for interrogatives; Syriac relies on syntactic and contextual cues without dedicated interrogative punctuation.
