Mark 3 : 20

The Vulgate inserts 'veniunt ad domum' ('they come to the house'), providing a locative setting absent from both the Greek and Peshitta. This expansion likely reflects Western textual tradition or editorial clarification of the narrative context.

Greek uses singular συνέρχεται ('comes together', 3rd person singular) with collective noun ὄχλος; Peshitta uses plural ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ('they gathered'); Vulgate uses singular convenit, mirroring Greek syntax but with different aspectual nuance (present vs. perfect).

Greek employs article + noun (ὁ ὄχλος); Peshitta uses bare noun ܟܢܫܐ (definiteness contextually determined); Vulgate uses bare turba. The semantic content is identical but syntactic marking of definiteness differs across traditions.

Greek ὥστε ('so that', result clause marker) corresponds to Peshitta ܐܝܟܢܐ ('such that, how') and Vulgate ita ut ('so that'). All three introduce consecutive result clauses but employ tradition-specific conjunctive idioms.

Greek uses infinitive δύνασθαι ('to be able') with accusative subject αὐτούς; Peshitta employs imperfect ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܗܘܘ ('they were able', periphrastic construction with auxiliary ܗܘܘ); Vulgate uses subjunctive possent. All express inability but through different modal constructions.
