Mark 6 : 36

Greek uses ἵνα + aorist participle (ἀπελθόντες) for purpose; Vulgate mirrors this with ut + participle (euntes); Peshitta employs a single d- prefix subordinating construction (ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ), a typical Syriac compression of purpose clauses.

Greek places the adverb κύκλῳ ('surrounding') before the nouns ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας ('fields and villages'); Vulgate uses the adjective proximas before villas et vicos; Peshitta reverses the order, placing the participle ܕܚܕܪܝܢ ('surrounding') after the first noun ܠܐܓܘܪܣܐ ('fields'), yielding 'to fields surrounding and to villages'—a stylistic reordering with identical semantic scope.

Greek uses the indefinite pronoun τί ('something') + specific noun ἄρτους ('loaves'); Vulgate employs the generic cibos ('food'); Peshitta uses ܠܚܡܐ ('bread'), semantically closer to Greek but lacking the indefinite pronoun—all three convey 'food to eat' but with differing lexical specificity.

Greek uses a negative existential construction οὐκ ἔχουσιν ('they do not have'); Vulgate employs a relative clause quos manducent ('which they may eat'), presupposing the lack; Peshitta expands with ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ('for they have nothing'), inserting the indefinite ܡܕܡ ('anything') to make the negation explicit—a substantive clarification absent in Greek and Latin.
