Mark 14 : 60

Greek uses article + noun (ὁ ἀρχιερεύς); Peshitta employs construct state (ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ, 'chief of priests'); Vulgate uses adjective + noun (summus sacerdos). All three express 'high priest' with equivalent semantics but distinct syntactic structures.

Greek uses participial form λέγων with punctuation mark (·); Peshitta employs finite verb ܘܐܡܪ ('and he said'); Vulgate uses present participle dicens followed by colon. The Vulgate's colon creates stronger discourse segmentation than the Greek raised dot.

Peshitta adds explicit subject pronoun ܐܢܬ ('you') and object noun ܦܬܓܡܐ ('word/matter'), making implicit Greek elements explicit. Greek οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν uses double negative with neuter accusative; Vulgate Non respondes quidquam mirrors Greek structure; Syriac expands for clarity.

Greek uses interrogative τί with demonstrative οὗτοί and genitive σου with compound verb καταμαρτυροῦσιν ('what do these testify against you?'). Vulgate expands with prepositional phrase ad ea quae tibi objiciuntur ab his ('to those things which are cast against you by these'), transforming the direct construction into a relative clause with passive voice. Peshitta uses ܡܢܐ ('what') with ܡܣܗܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ('these testify against you'), maintaining Greek word order but with Syriac prepositional syntax.
