Mark 12 : 2

Greek employs the preposition πρὸς with article and noun (πρὸς τοὺς γεωργούς); Vulgate mirrors this with ad agricolas; Syriac uses the preposition ܠܘܬ followed directly by the noun ܦܠܚܐ without an article, reflecting typical Semitic syntax where definiteness is contextually determined rather than morphologically marked.

Greek places the temporal phrase τῷ καιρῷ before the direct object δοῦλον; Vulgate reverses this order with in tempore following servum; Syriac positions the temporal phrase ܒܙܒܢܐ after the direct object ܥܒܕܗ, demonstrating characteristic Syriac preference for verb-object-modifier sequencing.

Greek uses the purpose conjunction ἵνα with subjunctive λάβῃ; Vulgate employs ut with subjunctive acciperet; Syriac integrates the purpose marker ܕ (d-) as a prefix to the following prepositional phrase ܕܡܢ, creating a more compact construction typical of Semitic syntax.

Greek employs παρὰ τῶν γεωργῶν ('from the farmers') with the genitive article and repeated noun; Vulgate uses ab agricolis, repeating the noun from verse-initial position; Syriac omits the second reference to the farmers entirely, relying on contextual clarity from the earlier mention of ܦܠܚܐ, a typical Semitic ellipsis pattern.

Greek uses ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος with double article construction (partitive genitive 'from the fruits of the vineyard'); Vulgate employs de fructu vineæ with singular fructu; Syriac integrates the entire prepositional phrase into the earlier purpose clause with ܕܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ, using construct-state syntax (ܕܟܪܡܐ modifying ܦܐܪܐ) and positioning it before the verb ܢܣܒ rather than after.
