Mark 13 : 2

Greek uses simple conjunction Καὶ ('And'); Peshitta employs contrastive particle ܕܝܢ (dēn, 'but/now'), which appears at token index 1 after the subject ܝܫܘܥ. Vulgate mirrors Greek with Et. The Peshitta's word order places the particle post-nominally, a typical Semitic construction.

Greek uses aorist participle + finite verb (ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, 'answering, he said'); Vulgate mirrors this with present participle + finite verb (respondens ait). Peshitta employs the contrastive particle ܕܝܢ + simple finite verb ܐܡܪ ('said'), omitting the redundant 'answering' participle—a common Syriac stylistic preference for economy.

Greek uses dative pronoun with punctuation αὐτῷ· (colon); Peshitta uses prepositional phrase ܠܗ ('to him') without punctuation. Vulgate expands to illi : (dative + colon), making the addressee explicit before the direct speech marker.

Greek βλέπεις (2nd singular, 'you see') is mirrored by Vulgate Vides. Peshitta adds explicit subject pronoun ܐܢܬ ('you') after the verb ܚܙܐ, a typical Semitic emphasis strategy for foregrounding the addressee in rhetorical questions.

Greek uses demonstrative + article + adjective + noun (ταύτας τὰς μεγάλας οἰκοδομάς, 'these great buildings'); Peshitta employs demonstrative + noun + adjective (ܗܠܝܢ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ), omitting the article. Vulgate inserts omnes ('all') between has and magnas, intensifying the scope of the rhetorical question, and adds interrogative punctuation (?).

Greek ὧδε ('here') and Peshitta ܗܪܟܐ ('here') are present; Vulgate omits the locative adverb, likely for stylistic concision, as the context (destruction of visible buildings) renders the spatial marker redundant.

Greek places λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον (nominative + preposition + accusative); Peshitta mirrors this with ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ. Vulgate inverts to lapis super lapidem (nominative + preposition + accusative with comma after lapidem), altering punctuation but preserving syntax.

Greek employs relative pronoun + double negative + aorist passive subjunctive (ὃς οὐ μὴ καταλυθῇ, 'which certainly will not be thrown down'). Peshitta uses compound negative particle ܕܠܐ + passive participle ܡܣܬܬܪܐ, a more compact construction. Vulgate uses relative pronoun qui + simple negative non + present passive subjunctive destruatur, lacking the emphatic double negative of the Greek.
