Mark 10:3 — Greek / Peshitta / Vulgate aligned

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul

omission All three attest

Greek NT ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν

Peshitta ܐܡܪ

Vulgate At ille respondens dixit

The Peshitta omits the Greek participial construction ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν ('And he answering said'), rendering only the main verb ܐܡܪ ('he said'). The Vulgate preserves the Greek structure with At ille respondens dixit, maintaining the redundant Semitic pleonasm typical of narrative style in the Synoptic tradition.

punctuation Vulgate only

Vulgate Quid

The Vulgate inserts a colon to mark direct discourse, a Latin scribal convention absent in Greek manuscripts (which use a raised dot or no punctuation) and Syriac (which relies on syntactic context).

omission Two witnesses

Greek NT ὑμῖν

Vulgate præcepit

The Peshitta omits the explicit dative pronoun ὑμῖν / vobis ('to you'), as Syriac ܦܩܕܟܘܢ encodes the second-person plural object suffixally within the verb itself, making a separate pronoun redundant.

punctuation Vulgate only

The Vulgate adds a question mark, a medieval Latin punctuation innovation. Greek manuscripts use a semicolon (;) for interrogatives; Syriac relies on syntactic and contextual cues without dedicated interrogative punctuation.
