Mark 2 : 3

The Greek ἔρχονται ('they come') is a single present-tense verb shared with the Peshitta perfect ܘܐܬܘ; the Vulgate venerunt likewise renders the motion verb. The Syriac fuses the conjunction and verb into one token (ܘܐܬܘ), so its index aligns with both the Greek καί-verb pair.

The prepositional phrase πρὸς αὐτόν ('to him') is expressed in Latin by ad eum and in Syriac by the single inflected form ܠܘܬܗ ('to him'), which incorporates the pronominal suffix; the Syriac also relocates this phrase before the verb of bringing, reflecting a word-order divergence.

The Greek participle φέροντες ('bringing') is rendered in the Peshitta as a finite coordinated verb ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ('and they brought') plus the resumptive object pronoun ܠܗ ('to/for him'), a construction shift from participial to paratactic finite clause; the Vulgate ferentes preserves the Greek participial syntax.

The Greek passive participle αἰρόμενον ('being carried') is reproduced by the Latin imperfect passive portabatur, while the Syriac employs the subordinating particle ܟܕ ('while') with the active participle ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ('they were carrying') and a resumptive object pronoun ܠܗ — a circumstantial-clause construction rather than a single passive participle.

The agent phrase ὑπὸ τεσσάρων ('by four') is rendered in the Vulgate with a relative clause (qui a quatuor) governing the verb portabatur, whereas the Syriac uses the idiomatic distributive expression ܒܝܬ ܐܪܒܥܐ ('by means of/among four'); all three convey the same numeral and agency but through differing prepositional and syntactic means.
