Mark 12 : 25

Greek uses prepositional phrase ἐκ νεκρῶν before the verb ἀναστῶσιν; Peshitta and Vulgate place the verb first (ܕܩܡܘ / resurrexerint) followed by the prepositional phrase (ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ / a mortuis), reflecting typical Semitic and Latin verb-initial syntax.

The Peshitta explicitly supplies the direct object ܢܫܐ ('women') after the verb ܢܣܒܝܢ ('they take/marry'), making the gender dynamics of marriage explicit. Greek γαμοῦσιν and Latin nubent are intransitive or leave the object implicit, focusing on the act of marrying rather than specifying the gender of the spouse.

The Peshitta renders the passive γαμίζονται with an active periphrastic construction: ܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ('nor do women become [wives] to men'), explicitly naming both genders and using the copula ܗܘܝܢ. Greek and Latin employ passive voice (γαμίζονται / nubentur) without specifying the agent, a more compact idiom.

Greek uses an articular prepositional phrase οἱ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ('the [ones] in the heavens') with article and plural dative; Latin mirrors this with in cælis; Peshitta employs a genitive construct ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ('of/in heaven'), a typical Semitic idiom that collapses the article and preposition into a single bound form.
