Mark 12 : 5

The Peshitta inserts the emphatic particle ܐܦ ('even, also') before the pronoun ܠܗܘ ('him'), intensifying the statement. Greek uses the crasis κἀκεῖνον (καὶ + ἐκεῖνον), while Latin employs simple et illum; both lack the emphatic force of the Syriac particle.

The Vulgate inserts a colon after occiderunt, creating a stronger pause before the enumeration of many other servants. Neither the Greek nor the Peshitta tradition employs punctuation at this juncture, maintaining continuous narrative flow.

The Peshitta restructures the clause, placing the verb ܫܕܪ ('he sent') after the object ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ('other servants'), creating a chiastic pattern with the opening verb. Greek and Latin maintain standard SVO order (καὶ πολλοὺς ἄλλους / et plures alios), but the Syriac's verb-final construction emphasizes the repeated sending action.

The Vulgate again inserts a colon before the μὲν...δὲ construction, segmenting the two participial clauses more sharply than the Greek or Peshitta, which employ no punctuation here.

Greek uses the correlative construction οὓς μὲν δέροντες (relative pronoun + particle + participle). Latin renders this with quosdam cædentes (indefinite pronoun + participle), omitting the correlative particle. Peshitta employs ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܚܘ ('and from them they beat'), using a partitive prepositional phrase rather than a relative clause—semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek repeats the relative pronoun οὓς with the contrastive particle δὲ. Latin substitutes alios vero ('others truly'), using an adjective rather than a pronoun. Peshitta mirrors the Greek structure with ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ('from them however'), maintaining the partitive construction established in the first clause—a stylistic preference for parallelism.
