Mark 10 : 37

Greek uses article + postpositive conjunction (οἱ δέ, 'and they'); Peshitta omits both, beginning directly with the verb; Vulgate substitutes coordinating conjunction Et ('And'), a stylistic preference in Latin narrative.

Greek ἵνα introduces a purpose clause with subjunctive verb; Syriac ܕ (d-) functions identically as a subordinating particle; Vulgate ut mirrors Greek syntax, all three expressing identical purpose construction with different morphology.

Greek places the subject pronoun σου ('of you') before the prepositional phrase ἐκ δεξιῶν ('at right hand'), creating discontinuous syntax; Syriac integrates the pronominal suffix directly into ܝܡܝܢܟ ('your right') after the verb ܢܬܒ ('may sit'); Vulgate uses ad dexteram tuam with postposed possessive, following Latin word-order norms. All three convey identical semantics through language-specific syntactic patterns.

Greek καί and Syriac ܘ (waw) are cognate coordinating conjunctions; Vulgate substitutes et for καί in the second coordinate, then uses alius ('another') instead of repeating unus, a Latin stylistic variation to avoid repetition.

Greek repeats εἷς ἐξ ἀριστερῶν σου with identical discontinuous syntax (pronoun before prepositional phrase); Syriac again integrates the possessive suffix into ܣܡܠܟ ('your left'); Vulgate employs alius ad sinistram tuam, substituting alius for the second occurrence of unus to avoid redundancy, a characteristic Latin rhetorical preference.

Greek places the verb καθίσωμεν ('let us sit') after both coordinate phrases, followed by ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου ('in your glory'); Syriac fronts the verb ܢܬܒ earlier in the clause and uses the bound form ܒܫܘܒܚܟ ('in-your-glory') as a single lexical unit; Vulgate sedeamus in gloria tua follows Greek word order but omits the article (Latin lacks articles). All three express the same locative prepositional phrase with minor syntactic reordering.
