Mark 11 : 33

EN They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

ES Y respondiendo, dicen á Jesús: No sabemos. Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tampoco yo os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas.

ZH-HANS 于是回答耶稣说:「我们不知道。」耶稣说:「我也不告诉你们我仗着什么权柄做这些事。」

ZH-HANT 於是回答耶穌說:「我們不知道。」耶穌說:「我也不告訴你們我仗着甚麼權柄做這些事。」

Greek NT ἀποκριθέντες
Peshitta ܘܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ
Vulgate respondentes

Greek uses a single aorist participle ἀποκριθέντες ('answering'); the Peshitta resolves this into two finite verbs joined by waw, ܘܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ('and they answered and said'), a characteristic Semitic paratactic construction. The Vulgate retains the participial respondentes in agreement with the Greek.

Greek NT τῷ Ἰησοῦ
Peshitta ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ
Vulgate Jesu

Greek expresses the indirect object with article + dative (τῷ Ἰησοῦ); the Peshitta employs a proleptic pronoun ܠܗ ('to him') anticipating the named ܠܝܫܘܥ ('to Jesus'), a typical Syriac resumptive construction. The Vulgate renders simply with the dative Jesu without the anticipatory pronoun.

Greek NT λέγουσιν·
Vulgate Nescimus

The Vulgate inserts a colon as discourse punctuation introducing direct speech; the Greek folds the speech-verb λέγουσιν into the preceding clause. This is purely an editorial punctuation feature with no textual basis in the source.

Greek NT ἀποκριθεὶς
Vulgate Jesus

Greek and Vulgate both supply the answering-participle (ἀποκριθεὶς / respondens) introducing Jesus' reply; the Peshitta omits any rendering of this participle here, moving directly to the speech-verb ܐܡܪ. The redundant 'answering said' formula is frequently streamlined in Syriac narrative style.

Greek NT ὁ Ἰησοῦς
Vulgate ait

Greek marks the subject with article + name (ὁ Ἰησοῦς) and Vulgate with the bare Jesus; the Peshitta leaves the subject 'Jesus' unexpressed, recoverable from the preceding context, and proceeds straight to the verb of speaking. This is a routine Syriac ellipsis of an already-established subject.

Greek NT αὐτοῖς·
Vulgate ego

The Vulgate again adds an editorial colon to introduce the second instance of direct speech, mirroring the punctuation at the first reply. No corresponding marker exists in the Greek or Syriac witnesses.

Greek NT οὐδὲ
Peshitta ܐܦ ܠܐ
Vulgate dico

Greek and Latin use a single compound negative conjunction (οὐδέ / Neque, 'neither'); the Peshitta analyses this into two particles, ܐܦ ܠܐ ('also not'), an idiomatic Syriac equivalent that periphrastically conveys the same emphatic negation.

Greek NT λέγω
Peshitta ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ
Vulgate in

Greek λέγω and Latin dico are single first-person verbs; the Peshitta renders the predicate with the enclitic participle construction ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ (participle + pronoun), the normal Syriac way of expressing the present indicative, hence the apparent doubling of the pronoun 'I'.

Greek NT ποιῶ.¶
Peshitta ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ

Greek ποιῶ and Latin faciam are single finite verbs; the Peshitta again uses the periphrastic participle + pronoun ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ to express the present tense. The Greek pilcrow (¶) marks a paragraph boundary and is a purely editorial sense-division.
