Mark 4 : 31

The Peshitta employs double copular pronouns (ܗܝ ... ܗܝ) framing the relative clause, a Semitic stylistic feature absent in Greek (ὅς) and Latin (quod), which use simple relative pronouns.

Greek uses a temporal conjunction with aorist subjunctive (ὅταν σπαρῇ); Latin employs cum with perfect subjunctive (cum seminatum fuerit), a periphrastic passive construction; Peshitta uses a temporal particle with ethpeal perfect (ܕܡܐ ܕܐܙܕܪܥܬ), semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek employs the preposition ἐπί with article and genitive (ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς); Latin mirrors this with in + ablative (in terra); Syriac uses the preposition ܒ prefixed directly to the noun without article (ܒܐܪܥܐ), reflecting the absence of definite articles in Syriac nominal syntax.

Greek uses a comparative adjective with participle (μικρότερον ὂν, 'being smaller'); Latin employs a simple comparative with copula (minus est); Peshitta uses an adjective with copular pronoun (ܙܥܘܪܝܐ ܗܝ), all expressing the same comparative sense through different syntactic strategies.

Greek employs a double-article construction (πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων) with genitive plural; Latin uses omnibus seminibus in ablative of comparison without article; Syriac uses the preposition ܡܢ ('from') with ܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܪܥܘܢܐ, a partitive construction typical of Semitic comparative syntax.

Greek uses an articular participle construction (τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, 'the [ones] upon the earth'); Latin employs a relative clause with copula (quæ sunt in terra); Syriac uses a simple prepositional phrase (ܕܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ) without relative pronoun, achieving the same restrictive sense through different means.

The Vulgate concludes with a colon, signaling continuation to the following verse, whereas Greek and Peshitta manuscripts use a period, treating this as a complete syntactic unit.
