Mark 10 : 49

Greek uses participial construction (καὶ στὰς ὁ Ἰησοῦς) with article and participle preceding the subject; Peshitta employs finite verb + subject (ܘܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ); Vulgate mirrors Greek structure with participial phrase (Et stans Jesus). All three convey identical meaning through different syntactic strategies.

Greek εἶπεν ('said') is rendered by Peshitta ܘܦܩܕ ('commanded') and Vulgate præcepit ('commanded'). The Peshitta and Vulgate both interpret Jesus's speech-act as a directive rather than neutral speech, reflecting a common interpretive tradition that emphasizes the authoritative nature of the utterance.

Vulgate inserts a colon after ei to mark the beginning of direct speech. Neither Greek nor Peshitta manuscripts employ comparable punctuation at this juncture, though the semantic boundary is implicit in all three traditions.

Vulgate again inserts a colon to separate the two imperatives (Animæquior esto : surge). This punctuation choice reflects Latin rhetorical convention for asyndetic command sequences, absent in Greek and Peshitta witnesses.
