Mark 12:7 — Greek / Peshitta / Vulgate aligned

𝔊 grk ℙ syr 𝔙 vul

construction Two witnesses

Greek NT ἐκεῖνοι

Peshitta ܗܢܘܢ

Greek ἐκεῖνοι ('those') and Syriac ܗܢܘܢ ('they/those') both supply an explicit demonstrative subject; the Vulgate omits any demonstrative, supplying only the noun Coloni, so the deictic emphasis present in Greek and Syriac is lost in the Latin.

Greek NT οἱ γεωργοὶ

Peshitta ܦܠܚܐ

Vulgate Coloni

Greek uses the articular plural οἱ γεωργοί ('the farmers/vinedressers'); Syriac ܦܠܚܐ (from p-l-kh, 'to labour/till') and Latin Coloni ('tenant-farmers') render the same agricultural agent without the Greek article, a routine omission since neither Syriac nor Latin possesses a definite article of this type.

Greek NT πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς (he'autous)

Peshitta ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ

Vulgate ad invicem

The reflexive phrase 'to themselves' is rendered analytically in Greek (πρὸς ἑαυτούς) and Latin (ad invicem, a reciprocal 'to one another'), but synthetically in Syriac by the single prepositional form ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ('within/among themselves', lit. 'in their souls', from n-p-sh); the Latin invicem additionally shifts the nuance from purely reflexive to reciprocal.

Greek NT εἶπαν

Greek introduces direct discourse with recitative ὅτι, a Hebraising/Septuagintal marker functionally equivalent to opening quotation marks; both Syriac and Latin (the latter using a colon) render the speech directly without an introductory conjunction.

Greek NT ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ

Peshitta ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ

Vulgate Hic est hæres venite occidamus

Greek and Latin express the predicate nominative analytically with explicit copula and article (οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ κληρονόμος / Hic est hæres); Syriac contracts the demonstrative and copula into the enclitic ܗܢܘ ('this-is') followed by ܝܪܬܐ (y-r-th, 'heir'), a characteristic Syriac economy of the nominal clause.

Greek NT δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν

Peshitta ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ

Vulgate et nostra

Greek and Latin express the hortatory subjunctive plus separate accusative pronoun (ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτόν / occidamus eum); Syriac fuses verb and object suffix into the single form ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ('let us kill him'), the normal Semitic synthetic construction with pronominal object suffix.

construction Two witnesses

Greek NT αὐτόν

Vulgate hæreditas

The coordinating conjunction καί / et is attested in Greek and Latin; in Syriac the connective is carried prefixally by the waw of ܘܬܗܘܐ ('and it will be'), so no separate conjunction token appears, though the syntactic coordination is fully preserved.

Greek NT καὶ

Peshitta ܕܝܠܢ

Greek fronts the genitive ἡμῶν ('ours') for emphasis before the verb, matched by Latin nostra; Syriac uses the independent possessive ܕܝܠܢ ('ours'), placed after the verb, reflecting differing default word-order conventions while preserving the emphatic possessive sense.

Greek NT ἔσται ἡ

Peshitta ܝܪܬܘܬܐ

Greek marks the subject with article ἡ κληρονομία; Syriac ܝܪܬܘܬܐ (y-r-th) and Latin hæreditas render 'the inheritance' anarthrously, the article being unavailable/unneeded, with all three sharing the same inheritance root concept (cf. ܝܪܬܐ in this verse).
