Mark 10 : 13

Greek προσέφερον is a synthetic imperfect (V-IAI-3P) and Latin offerebant matches it inflectionally; Syriac analytically renders the durative past with an active participle plus the enclitic auxiliary ܗܘܘ ('they were bringing'), the standard Syriac periphrastic imperfect.

Greek παιδία ('little children') and Latin parvulos faithfully render the diminutive; Syriac ܛܠܝܐ derives from the root T-l-y denoting youth (cognate to Heb. טַלֶּה, 'young one/lamb') and is the common Syriac term for children, lacking the explicit diminutive force of the Greek.

The verb of touching is realized in all three but in differing positions; Syriac fuses the purpose conjunction and verb in a single form ܕܢܩܪܘܒ (q-r-b, 'that he might draw near/touch') and places the object pronoun after, whereas Greek and Latin keep verb and object distinct.

Greek ἅπτω ('touch') and Latin tangere agree, but Syriac uses the root q-r-b ('to draw near, approach'), the same root used for 'bringing'; thus the Syriac reads more as 'that he might draw near to them' rather than the physical 'touch' of the Greek and Latin.

Greek αὐτοῖς ('them', dative plural) is the object of the rebuke; the Peshitta substitutes the prepositional phrase ܒܗܠܝܢ ('at/against these ones'), an explicitating demonstrative that anticipates the following relative clause and has no direct equivalent in the Greek or Latin.

Greek προσφέρουσιν is a substantival present participle ('to those bringing [them]') and Latin offerentibus is a matching dative present participle; Syriac expands this into a finite relative clause ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ('who were bringing them'), repeating the root q-r-b from the opening verb and adding an explicit pronominal object.
