Greek uses imperfect indicative ἐδίδασκεν; Vulgate mirrors with imperfect docebat; Peshitta employs periphrastic construction ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ (participle + auxiliary), a standard Syriac idiom for expressing continuous past action.
EN He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,
ES Y les enseñaba por parábolas muchas cosas, y les decía en su doctrina:
ZH-HANS 耶稣就用比喻教训他们许多道理。在教训之间,对他们说:
ZH-HANT 耶穌就用比喻教訓他們許多道理。在教訓之間,對他們說:
Greek uses imperfect indicative ἐδίδασκεν; Vulgate mirrors with imperfect docebat; Peshitta employs periphrastic construction ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ (participle + auxiliary), a standard Syriac idiom for expressing continuous past action.
Greek uses accusative αὐτοὺς as direct object; Vulgate uses accusative eos; Peshitta uses prepositional phrase ܠܗܘܢ (l-hon, 'to them'), reflecting Syriac's preference for marking direct objects of teaching verbs with the preposition l-.
Greek places πολλὰ (neuter accusative plural, 'many things') after παραβολαῖς, functioning adverbially; Latin multa follows the same post-nominal position; Syriac ܣܓܝ (saggi, 'much/many') follows ܒܡܬܠܐ but uses singular form, a typical Syriac idiom treating abstract or collective nouns as singular masses.
Greek uses imperfect ἔλεγεν; Vulgate uses imperfect dicebat; Peshitta again employs periphrastic ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ (participle + auxiliary), parallel to the construction in token group 1, maintaining stylistic consistency in rendering Greek imperfects.
Greek αὐτοῖς (dative, 'to them') and Vulgate illis are present; Peshitta omits the indirect object pronoun, as the preceding context (ܠܗܘܢ in token 2) establishes the audience and Syriac permits ellipsis of redundant pronominal references within the same sentence.
Greek uses prepositional phrase ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ with article and possessive genitive; Vulgate mirrors with in doctrina sua (possessive adjective); Peshitta uses construct state ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ (b-yulpāneh, 'in-his-teaching'), a single bound form with pronominal suffix, reflecting Syriac's preference for synthetic rather than analytic possessive constructions.
