Mark 13 : 15

Greek employs prepositional phrase with article (ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος, 'upon the housetop'); Vulgate uses preposition without article (super tectum); Peshitta uses a prefixed preposition on the noun (ܕܒܐܓܪܐ, 'who-on-the-roof'). The Syriac construction integrates the relative marker and preposition morphologically.

Peshitta inserts the independent pronoun ܗܘ ('he') as an explicit subject marker, a common Syriac stylistic feature for emphasis or clarity. Neither Greek nor Latin requires this since the verb morphology encodes the subject.

Greek and Vulgate specify 'into the house' (εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν / in domum) as the destination of descent. Peshitta omits this prepositional phrase entirely, proceeding directly to the prohibition against entering, thereby compressing the two-stage action (descending + entering) into a single conceptual unit.

Greek uses aorist infinitive (ἆραί, 'to take') as purpose clause complement; Vulgate employs ut + subjunctive (ut tollat, 'in order that he take'); Peshitta uses prefixed lamed + infinitive (ܠܡܫܩܠ, 'to take'). All three express purpose, but through tradition-specific infinitival or subjunctive constructions.

Greek places the prepositional phrase before the possessive (ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας αὐτοῦ, 'out of the house of-him'); Vulgate mirrors this order (de domo sua); Peshitta reverses to possessive-then-source (ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ, 'from his-house'), reflecting standard Semitic construct-state word order.
