Mark 12 : 24

Greek shows a redundant double verb of speaking (ἔφη ... εἶπεν, 'was saying ... said'), a Markan pleonasm; the Vulgate renders this as respondens ... ait ('answering ... said'), introducing the participle of response, whereas the Peshitta condenses to the single verb ܐܡܪ, eliminating the duplication.

The Vulgate inserts a colon (:) marking the boundary before direct speech; neither the Greek nor the Peshitta uses an equivalent discrete punctuation token at this point, the Greek instead carrying its raised dot on εἶπεν·.

The Greek interrogative negative οὐ and the Vulgate Nonne expect an affirmative answer; the Peshitta expands this with ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ('is it not'), a periphrastic negation typical of Syriac to frame a rhetorical question.

Greek πλανᾶσθε is a single present passive verb ('you are led astray') and the Vulgate erratis likewise; the Peshitta renders the periphrastic ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ (active participle plus enclitic pronoun), the standard Syriac analytic present construction expressing the same durative sense.

Greek μὴ εἰδότες is a negated perfect participle and the Vulgate non scientes a present participle; the Peshitta uses ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ, a relative-particle plus participle plus enclitic pronoun construction — a finite circumstantial clause rather than a participial phrase.

Greek and Latin express 'the power' with article plus noun (τὴν δύναμιν / virtutem) governing a following genitive; the Peshitta uses the construct-suffix form ܚܝܠܗ ('his power'), a pronominal anticipatory suffix idiom resolved by the following ܕܐܠܗܐ ('of God').

The Vulgate places the interrogative mark (?) as a separate token closing the question; the Greek carries its question mark on θεοῦ; and the Peshitta has no terminal punctuation token, the rhetorical force being borne lexically.
