Mark 13 : 5

The Vulgate omits the article (Ὁ) and uses the conjunction Et instead of Greek δέ, a routine stylistic difference reflecting Latin's lack of a definite article and preference for coordinating conjunctions over postpositive particles.

The Peshitta omits the participle ἀποκριθεὶς ('answering'), which both Greek and Latin (respondens) retain. This is a characteristic Syriac stylistic compression, eliminating redundant participial constructions when the main verb sufficiently conveys the action.

Greek μή τις ('lest anyone') and Syriac ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ employ standard negative + indefinite constructions, while Latin ne quid uses the neuter interrogative pronoun quid ('anything') instead of the expected quis ('anyone'), a stylistic variation that does not alter the semantic force of the warning.

Greek and Latin separate the pronoun from the verb (ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ / vos seducat), whereas Syriac employs a single verbal form with pronominal suffix (ܢܛܥܝܟܘܢ, 'may-deceive-you'), reflecting the synthetic morphology typical of Semitic languages versus the analytic structure of Greek and Latin.

The Vulgate adds a closing colon after seducat, marking the end of the direct discourse unit. This punctuation is a Latin scribal convention not present in Greek or Syriac manuscript traditions.
