Mark 2 : 18

The Syriac postpositive particle ܕܝܢ ('but/now') has no direct counterpart in the Greek or Latin of this clause; it supplies the connective force that Greek/Latin place at the head with Καί/Et, reflecting a syntactic restructuring rather than a semantic difference.

Greek attaches a second article cluster (οἱ τῶν Φαρισαῖοι) co-ordinating 'the [disciples] of the Pharisees,' while the Peshitta compresses this to the single conjoined noun ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ('and the Pharisees') and the Vulgate to et pharisæi; in the latter two 'the disciples of' is left implicit and the Pharisees appear as bare subjects of the participle.

Greek uses a single present participle νηστεύοντες ('fasting') and Latin the participle jejunantes; the Peshitta renders the durative idea with a periphrastic construction, finite participle ܨܝܡܝܢ plus enclitic perfect ܗܘܘ ('were fasting'), a characteristically Syriac analytic past.

Greek connects with simple καί; the Vulgate inserts a colon before resuming et veniunt, segmenting the verse into two cola, a punctuational rather than lexical divergence.

All three attest the dative/prepositional pronoun (αὐτῷ / ܠܗ / illi); the Vulgate additionally places a colon introducing direct speech, which the Greek marks with a high point and the Syriac leaves unpunctuated.

Greek fully repeats the article + noun phrase (καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ τῶν Φαρισαίων, 'and the disciples of the Pharisees'); the Peshitta compresses to a single conjoined genitive ܘܕܦܪܝܫܐ and the Vulgate to et pharisæorum, both leaving 'disciples' implicit by ellipsis from the parallel clause.

Greek expresses possession with the possessive adjective σοί preceding μαθηταί ('your disciples'); the Peshitta doubles the possession, suffixing the pronoun to the noun ܘܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ and reinforcing it with the independent emphatic genitive ܕܝܠܟ ('yours'), a typical Syriac intensifier; the Vulgate uses the simple possessive tui.
