Mark 2 : 20

Greek and Syriac use the plural ἡμέραι / ܝܘܡܬܐ ('days'), while Vulgate uses the singular dies, a common Latin idiom for indefinite future time that does not alter the semantic force of the prophecy.

Greek places the prepositional phrase ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν before the subject ὁ νυμφίος, while Syriac ܕܐܫܬܩܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ and Vulgate auferetur ab eis both position the preposition immediately after the verb, reflecting standard Semitic and Latin verb-complement ordering.

Vulgate inserts a colon after sponsus to mark the clause boundary, a punctuation convention absent in Greek and Syriac manuscripts; Greek καὶ functions as the coordinating conjunction without pause.

Greek uses the singular dative ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ('in that day'), Syriac mirrors this with ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ (singular), but Vulgate reads in illis diebus ('in those days', plural dative), harmonising with the plural dies earlier in the verse and creating a minor theological nuance regarding the duration of fasting.
