Mark 10 : 25

Greek employs a double-articulated genitive construction (διὰ τῆς τρυμαλιᾶς τῆς ῥαφίδος, 'through the eye of the needle') with two definite articles. Latin mirrors this with per foramen acus using a genitive without articles. Syriac uses a bound-state construction (ܒܚܪܘܪܐ ܕܡܚܛܐ, 'in-the-hole of-needle'), semantically equivalent but syntactically more compact.

Greek places the infinitive διελθεῖν ('to pass') after the prepositional phrase, while Syriac fronts the verb ܕܢܥܘܠ ('that he enter') before the prepositional phrase as part of a relative construction. Latin transire follows the prepositional phrase, matching Greek word order but using a different infinitive form.

Greek uses the preposition εἰς with the accusative article and noun (εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ). Latin mirrors this with in regnum Dei. Syriac employs a pronominal suffix construction (ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ, 'to-his-kingdom of-God'), where the suffix -ܗ ('his') anticipates the following genitive, a typical Semitic resumptive structure not present in Greek or Latin.

Greek places the second infinitive εἰσελθεῖν ('to enter') at the end of the sentence. Syriac ܠܡܥܠ ('to-enter') likewise appears finally. Latin intrare, however, precedes the prepositional phrase in regnum Dei, creating a different syntactic flow while preserving semantic equivalence.
