Mark 14 : 58

Greek and Latin use a present participle (λέγοντος / dicentem) in agreement with the object, whereas Syriac employs a finite verb in a relative clause ܕܐܡܪ ('who said'), a typical Aramaic construction substituting a relative for the Greek genitive absolute-like participle.

Greek recitative ὅτι introduces direct speech; the Vulgate represents this with a colon (punctuation) rather than a lexeme, while Syriac fuses the conjunction ܕ- onto the following pronoun ܕܐܢܐ.

Greek καταλύσω and Latin dissolvam are single future verbs ('I will destroy/dissolve'); Syriac renders with the participle ܫܪܐ plus enclitic pronoun ܐܢܐ, the standard Aramaic periphrastic present-future, and the root ܫܪܐ ('loose, dissolve') closely matches Latin dissolvam.

Greek uses the single articular adjective τὸν χειροποίητον ('the hand-made'); both Latin (manu factum) and Syriac (ܕܥܒܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܝܐ, 'that is made by hands') analyse the compound into a verbal phrase, the Syriac additionally introducing a relative particle ܕ-.

Greek διὰ τριῶν ἡμερῶν ('within/through three days') is matched by Syriac ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ with the prefixed dative-locative ܠ-, while the Vulgate condenses the whole phrase into the single noun triduum ('a space of three days'), a Latin idiom replacing the analytic numeral-plus-noun construction.

Greek uses the single privative adjective ἀχειροποίητον ('not made with hands'); Latin analyses it into non manu factum and Syriac into the negated relative clause ܕܠܐ ܥܒܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܝܐ ('that is not made by hands'), both unpacking the Greek compound into a negation plus verbal phrase.

Greek οἰκοδομήσω and Latin ædificabo are simple future verbs; the Syriac places its verb earlier (ܒܢܐ ܐܢܐ, participle plus enclitic pronoun) before ܐܚܪܢܐ, yielding a word-order difference as well as the characteristic Aramaic periphrastic future.
