Mark 9 : 47

Greek opens with paratactic καὶ ἐάν ('and if'); the Peshitta fuses these into a single conditional particle ܘܐܢ, while the Vulgate recasts the connective as the relative-conditional Quod si, a stylistic Latin idiom that subordinates the clause to the preceding context rather than coordinating it.

Greek expresses 'your eye' analytically with article + noun + enclitic genitive (ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου); the Vulgate parallels this with oculus tuus, whereas Syriac employs the synthetic pronominal suffix ܥܝܢܟ, a single morphological word for the same phrase.

Greek ἔκβαλε ('cast out') and Latin ejice both denote violent expulsion; the Syriac ܚܨܝܗ derives from a root meaning 'pluck/tear out', a slightly more graphic lexeme reflecting the physical extraction of the offending eye.

The Greek pronominal object αὐτόν ('it') is rendered in Latin by eum followed by editorial colon punctuation; the Peshitta omits the explicit object pronoun entirely, the verbal suffix on ܚܨܝܗ already encoding the object.

Greek uses the compact adjective μονόφθαλμον ('one-eyed') matched by Latin luscum; Syriac unpacks the same notion periphrastically as ܕܒܚܕܐ ܥܝܢܟ ('with one eye of yours'), preferring an analytic phrase over a single lexeme.

Greek 'into the kingdom of God' uses preposition + article + noun + genitive article + θεοῦ; Latin reduces the articles (in regnum Dei); Syriac compresses 'his kingdom of God' into ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ with a proleptic pronominal suffix on 'kingdom', an idiomatic Syriac anticipatory possessive construction.

Greek 'having two eyes' is a participial phrase (δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα) closely mirrored by Latin duos oculos habentem; Syriac recasts it as a circumstantial existential clause ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܥܝܢܝܢ ('while there are to you two eyes'), the standard Syriac idiom for possession lacking a verb 'to have'.

Greek 'into the gehenna of the fire' is fully articulated (εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός); Latin renders it anarthrously (in gehennam ignis); Syriac collapses preposition and noun into ܒܓܗܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ, an analytic genitive with ܕ, all three transmitting the same Semitic loan γέεννα/ܓܗܢܐ for the valley of Hinnom.
