Mark 5 : 6

Greek employs a participial construction with two coordinating conjunctions (Καὶ ἰδὼν δὲ), creating a pleonastic effect typical of Markan style. Syriac mirrors this with ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ (temporal particle + verb + postpositive conjunction), while Latin simplifies to a single participle with autem (Videns autem), eliminating the initial conjunction.

Greek uses the definite article with the proper name (τὸν Ἰησοῦν), a standard Greek construction. Both Syriac (ܠܝܫܘܥ with object marker) and Latin (Jesum) lack the article, as neither language employs articles with proper names in this syntactic context.

Greek and Latin retain the coordinating conjunction (καὶ / et) before the second verb, maintaining explicit parataxis. Syriac omits the conjunction, employing asyndetic coordination (ܪܗܛ ܣܓܕ), a common Semitic stylistic feature where sequential actions are juxtaposed without explicit connectives.

The Vulgate adds a colon after eum, marking a major discourse boundary before the demon's speech in the following verse. Neither the Greek nor Syriac manuscripts employ equivalent punctuation at this juncture, though modern editions may vary.
