Mark 9 : 26

Greek and Vulgate place the object pronoun (αὐτόν / eum) after the participle σπαράξας / discerpens, while Syriac attaches the pronominal suffix directly to the verb ܘܫܚܩܗ, a standard Semitic enclitic construction.

The Peshitta inserts ܫܐܕܐ ܗܘ ('the demon' or 'that demon') as an explicit subject for the crying out and convulsing, clarifying the agent where Greek and Latin leave it implicit from context.

Greek uses a simple aorist ἐξῆλθεν; Syriac mirrors this with ܘܢܦܩ; Vulgate expands to exiit ab eo with the prepositional phrase ab eo making the separation from the boy explicit.

Greek ἐγένετο (aorist deponent) and Syriac ܘܗܘܐ (perfect) use synthetic verb forms, while Vulgate employs the analytic construction factus est (perfect passive participle + auxiliary), a characteristic Latin periphrastic rendering.

Greek ὥστε introduces a result clause with infinitive construction; Vulgate uses ita ut with subjunctive (classical result syntax); Peshitta employs ܐܝܟ ܕ ('as/so that'), a semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct Syriac result marker.

Greek uses the articular substantive τοὺς πολλοὺς ('the many'); Vulgate employs the bare plural multi; Peshitta uses ܕܣܓܝܐܐ with the relative particle ܕ, creating a relative clause construction ('those who were many').

The Vulgate inserts a colon before the direct discourse marker Quia, a Latin punctuation convention absent in Greek and Syriac manuscript traditions.

The Peshitta appends the dative pronoun ܠܗ ('to him' or 'for him'), an explanatory gloss specifying the referent of the death statement, absent in both Greek and Latin witnesses.
