Mark 11 : 7

Greek φέρουσιν ('they bring/carry') and Vulgate duxerunt ('they led') both denote conveyance, but Latin uses a perfect tense where Greek employs historical present. Peshitta ܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ('they brought him') employs the Aphel of ܐܬܐ with pronominal suffix, semantically aligned but morphologically distinct.

The Vulgate inserts a colon after 'Jesum', creating a stronger syntactic break between the bringing of the colt and the placing of garments. Neither Greek nor Peshitta traditions attest punctuation at this juncture, maintaining continuous narrative flow with coordinating conjunctions.

Greek employs the compound verb ἐπιβάλλουσιν with dative pronoun αὐτῷ ('they cast upon it') plus separate article-noun-pronoun sequence (τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν). Peshitta uses simple ܐܪܡܝܘ ('they cast') with prepositional phrase ܥܠܘܗܝ ('upon it') and possessive suffix on ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ('their garments'). Vulgate imponunt illi vestimenta sua mirrors Greek structure but with Latin inflection. All three convey identical semantics through tradition-specific syntax.

Peshitta adds explicit subject ܝܫܘܥ ('Jesus') after the verb ܪܟܒ ('he rode/sat'), clarifying the actor where Greek and Latin rely on context with third-person singular ἐκάθισεν/sedit. Additionally, Peshitta repeats the prepositional phrase ܥܠܘܗܝ ('upon it') from the previous clause, creating emphasis absent in Greek ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν and Vulgate super eum, which appear only once.
