Mark 4 : 7

Greek εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας and Latin in spinas use the accusative of motion 'into the thorns', whereas the Peshitta employs ܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ, literally 'in/amid the place of thorns', a Syriac locative idiom expressing the same spatial sense without a directional preposition.

Greek αἱ ἄκανθαι and Latin spinæ both carry the article/definiteness and explicit plural noun as subject; the Peshitta ܟܘܒܐ stands without an article and relies on context for definiteness, the verbal plural ܘܣܠܩܘ already encoding the plural subject.

Greek συνέπνιξαν αὐτό and Latin suffocaverunt illud express verb plus separate accusative object pronoun, whereas the Peshitta synthesises both into the single inflected form ܘܚܢܩܘܗܝ ('and they choked it'), the object suffix -ܘܗܝ supplying the pronoun.

Greek ἔδωκεν ('gave') and Syriac ܝܗܒ (root y-h-b, 'gave') both use the verb 'to give' for the seed yielding no fruit, whereas the Vulgate dedit likewise renders 'gave'; the agreement here is a calque on the Semitic idiom 'to give fruit' preserved across all three traditions.

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon after spinas to mark the clause boundary; this is editorial punctuation with no counterpart in the Greek or Syriac textual tradition.
