Mark 7 : 26

Greek places the article and conjunction before the noun (ἡ δὲ γυνὴ); Peshitta mirrors this order with pronoun + particle + noun (ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ); Vulgate omits both article and conjunction, beginning directly with the noun (mulier), a typical Latin stylistic preference.

Greek uses the simple imperfect ἦν ('was'); Peshitta employs a compound construction ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ (existential particle + past tense auxiliary); Vulgate uses the imperfect Erat, all semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek Ἑλληνίς ('Greek woman, Gentile') is rendered in Peshitta as ܚܢܦܬܐ ('pagan, heathen'), a more explicitly religious designation. Vulgate uses gentilis ('Gentile'), positioned after mulier with enim ('for, indeed'), creating a causal or explanatory nuance absent in the Greek and Peshitta.

Greek uses a single compound ethnic designation Συροφοινίκισσα with the dative phrase τῷ γένει ('by race'); Peshitta expands this into a prepositional phrase ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ ('from Phoenicia of Syria'), making the geographic relationship explicit; Vulgate compresses to Syrophœnissa genere, mirroring the Greek structure but omitting the article.

Greek uses the imperfect ἠρώτα ('was asking') with conjunction καί; Peshitta employs ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ (conjunction + participle + auxiliary), creating a periphrastic past progressive; Vulgate uses the simple imperfect rogabat with Et, all expressing continuous past action but through different grammatical means.

Greek places the article before the noun and separates the verb (τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐκβάλῃ); Peshitta integrates the verb with the noun in a single clause (ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ, 'that he cast out the demon'); Vulgate follows Greek word order (dæmonium ejiceret) but without the article, typical of Latin syntax.
