Mark 11 : 17

Greek uses two finite verbs coordinated by καί (ἐδίδασκεν καὶ ἔλεγεν); Vulgate employs a finite verb plus participle (docebat, dicens), a typical Latin construction for simultaneous action; Peshitta mirrors the Greek structure with ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ, using the periphrastic perfect with ܗܘܐ.

Vulgate inserts a colon after eis to mark the beginning of direct discourse, a punctuation convention absent in the Greek and Peshitta manuscript traditions.

Greek uses the negative particle οὐ with the perfect passive γέγραπται; Peshitta employs the simple negative ܠܐ with the passive participle ܟܬܝܒ; Vulgate renders this as an interrogative Nonne ('Is it not?') with scriptum est, transforming the rhetorical question into an explicit interrogative form.

Greek introduces the quotation with the conjunction ὅτι; Peshitta omits any introductory particle, using the relative prefix ܕ attached to the first word of the quotation (ܕܒܝܬܝ); Vulgate inserts a colon before Quia, employing both punctuation and the causal conjunction to mark the scriptural citation.

Vulgate adds the conjunction Quia ('because/that') to introduce the quotation from Isaiah 56:7, making the causal relationship explicit; neither Greek nor Peshitta employ a separate conjunction here, as the quotation is integrated directly via ὅτι in Greek and the ܕ prefix in Syriac.

Greek uses the article with the noun and possessive pronoun (ὁ οἶκός μου); Peshitta employs a construct state with pronominal suffix (ܕܒܝܬܝ, 'that my house'), incorporating the relative particle ܕ; Vulgate follows Greek word order (domus mea) but adds a comma after mea, creating a slight pause before the predicate nominative.

Greek uses the dative πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ('for all the nations') with the article; Peshitta employs ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ('for all peoples') with the preposition ܠ and plural absolute state; Vulgate renders omnibus gentibus (dative plural without article), following Greek syntax but omitting the article as Latin lacks the definite article.

Vulgate closes the scriptural quotation with a question mark, reinforcing the interrogative force of Nonne; Greek uses a semicolon and Peshitta has no explicit punctuation marker, treating the quotation as a declarative statement within a rhetorical question.

Greek uses the perfect active πεποιήκατε with the accusative pronoun αὐτόν as a separate word; Peshitta employs ܥܒܕܬܘܢܝܗܝ, a single word combining the verb with the pronominal suffix -ܝܗܝ ('it'); Vulgate follows Greek with fecistis eam, using the feminine pronoun eam to agree with domum (understood from domus mea).
