Mark 11 : 29

Greek ὁ functions as the articular subject-marker preceding Ἰησοῦς; the Peshitta renders this with the independent pronoun ܗܘ ('he, that one'), a normal Syriac demonstrative-subject construction. The Vulgate has no corresponding element, beginning directly with the proper name.

The Greek aorist participle ἀποκριθεὶς ('answering') is matched by the Latin participle respondens, but the Peshitta omits the redundant verb of answering entirely, retaining only ܐܡܪ ('said'). This reflects the Syriac tendency to compress the Semitic-style pleonastic 'answered and said' formula.

Greek uses ἐπερωτήσω (compound of ἐρωτάω, 'I will question'); the Peshitta ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ (root sh-a-l, 'to ask/inquire') incorporates the second-person object suffix into the verb, while Latin Interrogabo takes a separate accusative. The lexical choices are equivalent in sense though differing in morphological packaging.

Greek crases the conjunction and pronoun into a single form κἀγὼ ('I also'); both the Peshitta (ܐܦ ܐܢܐ) and the Vulgate (et ego) analytically unpack this into two words, preserving the emphatic first-person sense.

Greek and Latin place the numeral before the noun (ἕνα λόγον / unum verbum); the Peshitta inverts to noun-then-numeral (ܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ), the standard Syriac attributive order. The lexeme ܡܠܬܐ (root m-l-l, 'word/matter') corresponds to λόγος and verbum.

Greek and Latin coordinate with an imperative (καὶ ἀποκρίθητέ / et respondete, 'and answer'); the Peshitta employs a subordinate clause ܕܬܐܡܪܘܢ ('that you say/answer'), recasting the paratactic imperative as a purpose/result clause typical of Syriac syntax.

The Greek future ἐρῶ and Latin dicam are single verbs; the Peshitta renders the future with the participle ܐܡܪ plus the enclitic pronoun ܐܢܐ (ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ, 'I am saying / I will say'), the characteristic Syriac periphrastic present-future construction. The pronoun ܘܐܢܐ already supplies the explicit subject.

Greek uses preposition + interrogative adjective ἐν ποίᾳ ('by what'), matched by Latin in qua; the Peshitta fuses the preposition ܒ with the interrogative ܐܝܢܐ into a single word ܒܐܝܢܐ, a normal Syriac orthographic and grammatical contraction.

Greek present ποιῶ and Latin faciam stand as single inflected verbs; the Peshitta again uses the periphrastic participle ܥܒܕ (root e-b-d, 'to do/make') plus the enclitic subject pronoun ܐܢܐ, mirroring the construction used earlier in the verse and supplying an explicit first-person subject.
