Mark 10 : 48

EN Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

ES Y muchos le reñían, que callase: mas él daba mayores voces: Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.

ZH-HANS 有许多人责备他,不许他作声。他却越发大声喊着说:「大卫的子孙哪,可怜我吧!」

ZH-HANT 有許多人責備他,不許他作聲。他卻越發大聲喊着說:「大衛的子孫哪,可憐我吧!」

Greek NT ἐπετίμων
Peshitta ܘܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ
Vulgate comminabantur

Greek uses a simple imperfect ἐπετίμων ('were rebuking'); the Peshitta employs a periphrastic construction ܘܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ (participle + auxiliary ܗܘܘ) to render the durative aspect, while the Latin imperfect comminabantur matches the Greek synthetically. The Syriac periphrasis is its standard means of expressing continuous past action.

Greek NT ἵνα
Peshitta ܕܢܫܬܘܩ
Vulgate ut

The Greek purpose conjunction ἵνα + subjunctive σιωπήσῃ and the Latin ut + subjunctive taceret are matched in Syriac by the prefixed ܕ on ܕܢܫܬܘܩ, a single inflected form embedding both the subordinating particle and the verb. The notional content is identical though the morphology differs.

Greek NT πολλῷ μᾶλλον
Peshitta ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ
Vulgate multo magis

Greek πολλῷ μᾶλλον and Latin multo magis form a two-word comparative phrase ('much more'); the Peshitta compresses this into the single adverb ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ('exceedingly, all the more'), a lexical rather than syntactic equivalence.

Greek NT ἔκραζεν·
Peshitta ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate clamabat

Greek ἔκραζεν and Latin clamabat render the cry with a single imperfect verb; the Peshitta uses a periphrastic ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ and additionally supplies ܘܐܡܪ ('and said') to introduce the following direct speech, a characteristic Syriac discourse marker absent in Greek and Latin.

punctuation All three attest
Greek NT ἔκραζεν·
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate Fili

The Greek raised dot after ἔκραζεν· and the Latin explicit colon both mark the transition to direct speech; the Syriac instead lexicalises this boundary with ܘܐܡܪ. Punctuation conventions thus diverge across the three witnesses.

Greek NT με
Peshitta ܥܠܝ

Greek ἐλέησόν με takes the accusative direct object με, and Latin miserere mei the genitive mei after the verb of pity; Syriac ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ uses the prepositional phrase 'have mercy upon me' (ܥܠ + suffix). All three express the same petition with differing case/preposition government.
