Mark 9 : 3

Greek uses aorist middle ἐγένετο (singular), Peshitta uses perfect ܗܘܐ, and Vulgate employs passive perfect facta sunt (plural agreeing with vestimenta); all convey the same resultative state but differ in voice and aspect.

Greek uses adjective + intensifying adverb (λευκὰ λίαν), Vulgate reverses to conjunction + adjective + adverb (et candida nimis), and Peshitta uses participle + intensifier (ܘܡܚܘܪ ܛܒ); semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct constructions.

Greek and Vulgate use the technical term for a professional cloth-worker (γναφεὺς / fullo, 'fuller' or 'launderer'), while Peshitta substitutes the generic phrase ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ('sons of men', i.e., 'human beings'), generalizing the comparison to all humanity rather than specifying a trade.

Greek uses preposition + article + noun (ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, 'upon the earth'), Vulgate uses preposition + noun without article (super terram), and Peshitta uses prepositional prefix on noun (ܒܐܪܥܐ, 'on-earth'); all express the same locative sense with different syntactic strategies.

Greek uses singular verb δύναται ('is able'), Vulgate uses singular potest, while Peshitta uses plural ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ('are able'), agreeing with the plural subject 'sons of men' introduced earlier; this reflects the Peshitta's substitution of a collective plural for the Greek/Vulgate singular professional.

Greek uses adverb + infinitive (οὕτως λευκᾶναι, 'thus to whiten'), Vulgate uses adjective + infinitive (candida facere, 'to make white'), and Peshitta uses infinitive alone (ܠܡܚܘܪܘ, 'to whiten'); all express the same result with slightly different syntactic frames.
