Mark 12 : 10

The Vulgate inserts a colon after legistis to mark the transition from the rhetorical question to the scriptural quotation, whereas Greek uses a raised dot (·) and Peshitta employs no explicit punctuation marker at this juncture.

Greek λίθον and Latin Lapidem both denote 'stone,' while Syriac employs ܟܐܦܐ (kēpā), the cognate term that also underlies the name Cephas (cf. John 1:42), reflecting a Semitic lexical choice for the same referent.

Greek and Latin employ a relative pronoun (ὃν / quem) to introduce the relative clause modifying 'stone,' whereas Syriac uses a participial construction with the relative particle ܕ (d-) prefixed directly to the verb, a typical Semitic syntactic pattern.

Greek uses the article + present participle (οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, 'the ones building') to substantivize the builders; Latin employs a present participle without article (ædificantes); Syriac uses the simple noun ܒܢܝܐ ('builders'), all semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek uses the aorist passive ἐγενήθη ('became') as a single synthetic form; Latin employs the perfect passive periphrastic factus est (participle + auxiliary); Syriac uses the simple perfect ܗܘܬ, all expressing completed action with slight morphological variation.
