Mark 6 : 4

Greek pairs the imperfect ἔλεγεν with both the connective Καὶ and the postpositive δέ (a redundant double connective, idiomatic in Markan and Lukan Greek); the Vulgate reduces this to Et dicebat, and the Peshitta to a single ܘ- prefix on ܘܐܡܪ, neither rendering the doubled particle.

Greek prefixes the personal name with the nominative article (ὁ Ἰησοῦς), a Greek convention for proper nouns; Syriac ܝܫܘܥ and Latin Jesus carry no article, since neither language requires one before names.

The Clementine Vulgate inserts a colon after Jesus to mark the onset of direct speech; the Greek ὅτι (recitativum) performs the equivalent function lexically, while Syriac marks the boundary with no overt token.

Greek uses the single privative adjective ἄτιμος ('without honour'); the Vulgate analyses it into a prepositional phrase sine honore, and the Peshitta employs the relative-marked adjective ܕܨܥܝܪ ('who is despised/lowly'), shifting the nuance toward contempt rather than mere lack of honour.

Greek ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ and Latin in patria sua denote the prophet's native country/homeland; the Peshitta ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ (root d-y-n, 'his city/town') narrows the referent to a single urban locality rather than the broader fatherland, a recurrent Syriac lexical choice for πατρίς.

Greek orders the three domains as hometown, kinsfolk, household; the Peshitta places kinsfolk (ܘܒܝܬ ܐܚܝܢܘܗܝ) before household, matching the Greek sequence, whereas the Vulgate transposes the final two clauses to read domo... cognatione, placing house before kindred — a word-order divergence unique to the Latin.

Greek expresses 'in his house' fully with conjunction, preposition, article, noun, and pronoun (καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ); the Peshitta compresses the entire clause into the single inflected word ܘܒܒܝܬܗ (waw + preposition + 'house' + 3ms suffix), and the Vulgate uses et in domo sua, both economising on the Greek's analytic structure.
