Mark 11 : 9

Greek uses article + present participle (οἱ προάγοντες); Vulgate employs relative pronoun + imperfect indicative (qui præibant); Peshitta uses demonstrative pronoun + perfect verb with pronominal suffix (ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܕܡܘܗܝ 'those who preceded him'). All three express the same substantival participial construction but with tradition-specific syntax.

Greek repeats the article + participle structure (οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες); Vulgate mirrors with qui sequebantur; Peshitta uses demonstrative + prepositional phrase with suffix (ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܬܪܗ 'those after him'). The Peshitta's prepositional construction (ܒܬܪ 'after') is semantically equivalent to the Greek/Latin participial forms but syntactically distinct.

Greek uses simple imperfect ἔκραζον; Latin clamabant mirrors this; Peshitta employs periphrastic construction ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ (participle + auxiliary 'were crying'), a common Syriac idiom for expressing continuous past action.

Greek λέγοντες has medial punctuation (colon); Vulgate dicentes is followed by a colon as separate token; Peshitta ܘܐܡܪܝܢ lacks punctuation marker. The Vulgate's explicit colon token reflects Latin manuscript tradition of marking direct discourse.

Greek uses perfect passive participle + article + present participle (εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος); Vulgate employs perfect passive participle + relative clause (benedictus qui venit); Peshitta uses passive participle + pronoun + relative participle (ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ). The Peshitta's independent pronoun ܗܘ makes the subject explicit, while Greek and Latin rely on participial agreement.

Greek uses preposition + dative noun + genitive (ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου); Vulgate mirrors this (in nomine Domini) and adds closing colon; Peshitta employs prepositional phrase with pronominal suffix + genitive construct (ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ 'in-his-name of-the-Lord'). The Peshitta's bound pronominal suffix creates a tighter syntactic unit than the Greek/Latin analytic construction.
