Mark 2 : 15

Greek uses present tense γίνεται ('it happens') with καί; Vulgate employs the perfect passive factum est ('it came to pass') with a temporal clause structure; Peshitta uses the simple perfect ܘܗܘܐ. All three express the same narrative transition but with different aspectual nuances.

Greek employs articular infinitive construction ἐν τῷ κατακεῖσθαι αὐτόν ('in the [act of] him reclining'); Vulgate uses cum with subjunctive (cum accumberet, 'when he was reclining'); Peshitta uses temporal particle ܕܟܕ with active participle ܣܡܝܟ. Syntactically distinct but semantically equivalent temporal clauses.

Greek uses prepositional phrase ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ with article and possessive pronoun; Vulgate mirrors this with in domo illius; Peshitta employs the bound form ܒܒܝܬܗ ('in-his-house') as a single lexical unit with pronominal suffix, typical of Semitic economy.

Greek uses the compound verb συνανέκειντο ('were reclining together with'); Vulgate employs simul discumbebant (adverb + verb, 'together were reclining'); Peshitta uses participial construction ܣܡܝܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ (active participle + auxiliary). All convey shared reclining but with different morphological strategies.

Greek uses dative case with article (τῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ) to express accompaniment; Vulgate employs cum + ablative (cum Jesu et discipulis ejus); Peshitta uses the preposition ܥܡ repeated before each object (ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ), a characteristic Syriac distributive construction for emphasis.

Greek uses simple imperfect ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοί ('for they were many'); Vulgate adds colon punctuation and mirrors the structure (erant enim multi); Peshitta employs existential particle ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ with auxiliary ܗܘܘ and causal ܓܝܪ, creating a periphrastic construction typical of Syriac existential predication.

Greek uses imperfect ἠκολούθουν with dative αὐτῷ ('they were following him'); Vulgate employs relative pronoun qui with imperfect sequebantur and accusative eum ('who also were following him'), adding et for emphasis; Peshitta uses perfect ܘܐܬܘ with prepositional phrase ܒܬܪܗ ('and they came after him'), expressing completed action rather than ongoing process.
