Mark 10 : 27

EN Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

ES Entonces Jesús mirándolos, dice: Para los hombres es imposible; mas para Dios, no; porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios.

ZH-HANS 耶稣看着他们,说:「在人是不能,在 神却不然,因为 神凡事都能。」

ZH-HANT 耶穌看着他們,說:「在人是不能,在上帝卻不然,因為上帝凡事都能。」

construction All three attest
Greek NT ἐμβλέψας
Peshitta ܚܪ
Vulgate intuens

Greek uses an aorist participle ἐμβλέψας ('having looked at') subordinating the act of looking to the main verb; the Vulgate matches with a present participle intuens, while the Peshitta employs a finite perfect ܚܪ ('he looked'), coordinating the two verbs paratactically rather than subordinating one.

Greek NT δὲ
Peshitta ܕܝܢ
Vulgate Et

The postpositive Greek δέ and Syriac ܕܝܢ are discourse connectives placed in second position, whereas the Latin renders the connective with a clause-initial Et; the difference is purely one of conjunctive placement and register.

Greek NT λέγει·
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
Vulgate ait Apud

Greek λέγει stands without an indirect object, but the Peshitta adds an explicit dative ܠܗܘܢ ('to them'), and the Vulgate likewise supplies an introductory colon; the Syriac pronoun is a natural idiomatic expansion clarifying the addressees already named in αὐτοῖς.

idiom All three attest
Greek NT ἀνθρώποις
Peshitta ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ
Vulgate impossibile

Greek ἀνθρώποις and Latin homines render a simple plural noun, whereas the Peshitta uses the Semitic construct idiom ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ('sons of men'), a periphrasis for humankind characteristic of Aramaic and Hebrew usage.

Greek NT ἀδύνατον
Peshitta ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ
Vulgate est sed

Greek uses the predicate adjective ἀδύνατον elliptically without copula; the Vulgate supplies the copula est; the Syriac restructures with a resumptive demonstrative ܗܕܐ ('this') plus negative ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ('is not able/possible'), employing the verbal root sh-k-kh rather than an adjective.

Greek NT ἀλλ᾽ (all᾽)
Peshitta ܐܠܐ
Vulgate non apud

Greek expresses the adversative with ἀλλ᾽ followed by the negative οὐ ('but not'), matched by Latin sed non; the Peshitta compresses this into the single adversative particle ܐܠܐ ('but'), leaving the negation to be carried by context.

Greek NT θεῷ·
Peshitta ܟܠ ܡܕܡ
Vulgate possibilia

Greek neuter plural πάντα ('all things') and Latin omnia render a substantival plural, whereas the Peshitta uses the collective ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ('every thing'), a singular distributive idiom typical of Syriac where the noun ܡܕܡ functions as 'anything/everything'.

lexical All three attest
Greek NT γὰρ δυνατὰ
Peshitta ܡܫܟܚܐ
Vulgate apud Deum

Greek δυνατὰ ἐστιν and Latin possibilia sunt use the adjective of capability plus copula ('are possible'), but the Peshitta reuses the verbal root sh-k-kh in ܡܫܟܚܐ ('is able/possible'), maintaining lexical consistency with the earlier ܡܫܟܚܐ of the negative clause rather than employing a distinct adjective.
