Mark 10 : 51

The Peshitta omits the Greek participial construction καὶ ἀποκριθεὴς ('and answering'), which the Vulgate renders with Et respondens. Syriac proceeds directly to the main verb ܐܡܪ ('he said'), a common stylistic preference avoiding redundant participial phrases.

Greek places the dative pronoun αὐτῷ ('to him') before the subject ὁ Ἰησοῦς, while Syriac ܠܗ and Latin illi follow their respective verbs, reflecting each tradition's typical word-order conventions for pronominal objects.

The Vulgate inserts a colon after dixit illi to mark the beginning of direct speech, a punctuation convention absent in the Greek and Syriac manuscript traditions.

Greek σοι and Latin tibi ('to you') appear before the verb θέλεις/vis, while Syriac postpones the equivalent pronoun ܠܟ until after the verb ܐܥܒܕ, following standard Syriac VSO syntax.

The Peshitta makes the second-person subject explicit with ܐܢܬ ('you') following the verb ܨܒܐ ('you desire'), whereas Greek θέλεις and Latin vis encode the subject morphologically without an independent pronoun.

The Vulgate places a question mark after faciam to close Jesus's interrogative, a punctuation feature not represented in Greek or Syriac manuscripts.

Greek uses article + postpositive δέ + adjective (ὁ δὲ τυφλός); Syriac employs pronoun + particle + adjective (ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܣܡܝܐ); Latin uses adjective + postpositive autem (Cæcus autem). All three convey 'but the blind man' with tradition-specific syntax.

The Vulgate inserts a colon after ei to introduce the blind man's direct speech, consistent with Latin punctuation practice but absent in Greek and Syriac.

Greek uses the purpose conjunction ἵνα with subjunctive ἀναβλέψω ('that I may see again'); Latin mirrors this with ut + subjunctive videam. Syriac employs the relative particle ܕ with imperfect ܐܚܙܐ, a functional equivalent expressing purpose through a relative construction.

Greek ἀναβλέψω (compound verb, 'look up again, regain sight') contrasts with Syriac ܐܚܙܐ (simple verb, 'see') and Latin videam (simple verb, 'see'). The Greek compound emphasizes restoration of sight, while Syriac and Latin use unmarked verbs of perception.
