Greek NT καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν

Peshitta ܘܫܕܬܗ

Vulgate Et discerpens eum

Greek employs a participial construction (καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτόν, 'and having convulsed him') with explicit object pronoun; Syriac uses a finite verb with pronominal suffix (ܘܫܕܬܗ, 'and it threw him'); Vulgate mirrors Greek with gerundive discerpens eum. All three express the same action but with different syntactic strategies.

Greek NT τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον

Peshitta ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ

Vulgate spiritus immundus

Greek places the subject τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον ('the unclean spirit') with double article after the participle; Syriac and Vulgate position the subject (ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ / spiritus immundus) immediately after the initial verb, creating a more direct SVO structure. Greek's hyperbaton emphasizes the participial action before naming the agent.

Greek NT καὶ φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

Peshitta ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ

Vulgate et exclamans voce magna

Greek uses a second aorist participle (φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, 'having cried with a loud voice') with cognate accusative construction; Syriac employs a finite verb (ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ, 'and it cried with a loud voice'); Vulgate uses gerundive exclamans voce magna. The cognate-accusative idiom (φωνέω + φωνή) is preserved semantically in all three but realized through different grammatical structures.
