Mark 8 : 38

Greek uses the indefinite relative pronoun ὃς ἐὰν ('whoever') with conditional particle, while Peshitta employs ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ('everyone for') and Vulgate uses the simple relative Qui ('who'), both achieving functional equivalence through different syntactic strategies.

Greek and Peshitta place the verb before the object (ἐπαισχυνθῇ με / ܕܢܒܗܬ ܒܝ), while Vulgate inverts to object-verb order (me confusus fuerit), a characteristic Latin construction with the perfect passive participle.

Greek places the demonstrative after the noun (τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ), following standard attributive position; Peshitta reverses to ܒܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ('in-generation this'), while Vulgate uses in generatione ista, both reflecting their respective language norms for demonstrative placement.

Greek employs double article construction with coordinated adjectives (τῇ μοιχαλίδι καὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ), emphasizing both qualities; Peshitta reverses the order to ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܓܝܪܬܐ ('sinful and-adulterous'), while Vulgate follows Greek order (adultera et peccatrice), though all three convey identical semantic content.

Greek and Vulgate use preposition with article-noun (μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων / cum angelis), while Peshitta employs ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ('with his-angels'), incorporating the possessive suffix directly on the noun rather than using a separate genitive construction, a typical Semitic pattern.
