Mark 13 : 16

Greek καί introduces the clause with a simple conjunction; both the Peshitta ܘܡܢ ('and he who') and Latin et qui fuse the conjunction with the following relative pronoun, restructuring the asyndetic substantival participle of the Greek into an overt relative clause.

The Greek uses an articular present participle (ὁ ... ὢν, 'the one being'), a substantival participial construction; both Syriac (relative ܘܡܢ with copular ܗܘ) and Latin (relative qui ... erit) resolve this into explicit relative clauses. The constructions are semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek expresses 'in the field' with εἰς + accusative (a directional preposition used statively, εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν), while Latin uses the expected locative in agro; the Peshitta compresses preposition, noun, and the relative marker into the single inflected form ܕܒܚܩܠܐ, employing the cognate root kh-q-l.

Greek renders 'back' with the periphrastic prepositional phrase εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω ('to the things behind'); Latin uses the bare adverb retro, and the Peshitta employs the single inflected adverbial form ܠܒܣܬܪܗ ('to his rear'), each language reducing the Greek articular-plural idiom to its idiomatic equivalent.

Greek uses an infinitive of purpose (ἆραι, 'to take'), matched by Latin tollere; the Peshitta marks purpose with a finite verb prefixed by ܕ (ܕܢܫܩܘܠ, 'that he should take'), a typical Syriac purpose construction using the cognate root sh-q-l.
