Mark 4 : 34

Greek places the conjunction δὲ second (postpositive), while Vulgate places autem third after the prepositional phrase. Peshitta uses a compound negative particle ܘܕܠܐ ('and without') fusing the conjunction with the preposition, reflecting typical Syriac syntax for negative constructions.

Greek and Latin use simple imperfect indicatives (ἐλάλει / loquebatur), while Peshitta employs a periphrastic construction with the participle ܡܡܠܠ plus the auxiliary ܗܘܐ, a standard Syriac idiom for expressing continuous past action.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ('in private') with postpositive δὲ; Latin renders this with the adverb seorsum ('separately') plus autem; Peshitta employs the prepositional phrase ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗܘܢ ('between him and them'), a Semitic idiom for private discourse, with the conjunction ܕܝܢ positioned differently.

Greek ἐπέλυεν (from ἐπιλύω, 'to explain, interpret') and Latin disserebat (from dissero, 'to discuss, expound') are near-synonyms. Peshitta uses the periphrastic ܡܦܫܩ ܗܘܐ (participle of ܦܫܩ 'to interpret' plus auxiliary), semantically aligned but employing the characteristic Syriac periphrastic construction for imperfect aspect.
