Mark 9 : 41

Greek employs the relative + modal ὃς...ἂν with subjunctive (the classic indefinite relative protasis), while the Peshitta uses ܟܠ ܕ ('everyone who') with a relative-marked verb, and the Vulgate renders Quisquis ('whoever'). All three express the same generalising conditional, but the Syriac substantivises the subject (ܟܠ) where Greek and Latin use a bare relative pronoun.

Greek ποτίσῃ is a single causative verb ('may give to drink'), matched by the Syriac causative ܕܢܫܩܝܟܘܢ (Aphel of sh-q-y). The Vulgate periphrastically splits the idea into potum dederit ('shall have given a drink'), a two-word construction with the cognate accusative potum.

The Peshitta inserts ܒܠܚܘܕ ('only, solely'), emphasising that the cup is merely of water and yet still rewarded. Neither the Greek nor the Vulgate has any corresponding adverb here.

Greek uses preposition + article + noun (ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι); Latin omits the article it lacks (in nomine); Syriac fuses preposition and noun into the single form ܒܫܡܐ. The semantic content 'in the name' is identical across all three.

The 1st-singular possessive 'my' is expressed in Greek by the enclitic μου and in Latin by meo, but in Syriac it is absorbed into the construct/emphatic form ܒܫܡܐ without a discrete possessive token, so it shares the index of the noun.

Greek combines the recitative ὅτι with the emphatic double negative οὐ μή ('shall by no means'). The Vulgate reduces this to a simple non, and the Syriac to the single proclitic-bearing form ܕܠܐ ('that...not'); both versions flatten the Greek emphatic negation.
